An IUML leader, Bava Haji, was booked in Malappuram, Kerala, for allegedly offering a 15-day trip to the UAE to UDF booth committee members who secure the highest votes during the upcoming assembly elections. The offer was made during a March 22 convention while campaigning for Congress candidate V S Joy.
