The case was registered against Yadav, the Independent MP from Purnea, at the Sahdei police station on Thursday night on the basis of a complaint filed by the district administration, they said. "The case was registered on the basis of CCTV footage and a statement given by an official engaged in poll duty and is being investigated," SP Lalit Mohan Sharma told PTI. The model code of conduct came into effect following the announcement of poll dates by the Election Commission.
