First case in ‘cash for vote’ filed

Chennai

This is the first case of ‘cash for vote’ in the city in this election season, sources said. The IPC Section deals with ‘giving a gratification to any person with the object of induc­ing him or any other person to exercise any electoral right or of rewarding any person for having exercised any such right’. Though there was allegation on a minority wing of a particular political party, the police has not named anyone in the FIR in the Anna Salai police.
