Hearing Deferred in 2014 MCC Violation Case Against Kumar Vishwas and AAP LeadersPreviousNext

A special MP MLA court in Sultanpur deferred the hearing on June 5 in a case against former AAP leaders Kumar Vishwas, Satyendar Jain, and Somnath Bharti for alleged Model Code of Conduct violations during the 2014 Lok Sabha elections. The case involves accusations of holding unauthorized public meetings and not leaving the Amethi constituency during the 48-hour silence period before polling.
