The district administration today passed the directions after seeking the report from Assistant Commissioner (grievances)-cum-Returning Officer. The report said: “The candidate proceeded towards Nawanshahr in a big convoy of vehicles numbering about hundred. Supervisors were directed to note down the number of vehicles. One of the supervisors noted the vehicle numbers of about 57 till Dhahan Kaleran. His version was supported by another supervisor who was able to note down 48 vehicles.” The report also mentioned that many vehicles were parked in the premises of the DC office. Videography was also got done by the administration when the convoy entered the city and CD was also generated. The videography also supports the information of the supervisors, it is learnt. The report also mentions that the candidate and his nearly 200 supporters raised slogans in favour of the candidate in DC office premises. The Returning Officer recommended that cases be registered against Mr Mohan Lal under section 123 (2) of Representation of Peoples’ Act (undue influence), Section 133 of the act (illegal hiring of conveyances) and Section 188 of IPC (disobedience to order duly promulgated by a public servant).
