AAP seeks forgery case against Congress' Surat Lok Sabha candidate after his nomination form rejected

The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) in Gujarat on April 24 urged poll authorities to register a case against Nilesh Kumbhani, whose nomination form as a Congress candidate for the Surat Lok Sabha constituency was rejected recently over alleged discrepancies in the signatures of proposers that ultimately led to the BJP winning the seat unopposed.

AAP leader and party's Surat Lok Sabha president Rajnikant Vaghani demanded that either Mr. Kumbhani be booked on the charges of forgery or his proposers be booked for giving false declaration on oath.
