Reportedly, an SUV with a hooter mounted on it was also used during the roadshow, which was in strict violation of the Model Code Of Conduct.
Several cases under the various sections of the Indian Penal Code and Representation of People Act, 1951 have been registered against Singh and his supporters Ambuj Kumar Singh and Bhupendra Kumar Singh at Karakat, Bikramganj, Sanjhauli, Rajpur and Akorhi Gola police stations.
Meanwhile, Singh had lost the Lok Sabha elections by a huge margin in the Karakat constituency against CPIM leader Raja Ram Singh.
