The Himachal Pradesh Police on Sunday registered a case against an independent MLA and the father of a Congress rebel and others over “electoral offences” related to the recent Rajya Sabha polls in which six party MLAs voted for the BJP candidate from the State.
The case against Hamirpur's independent MLA Ashish Sharma and Gagret's now disqualified MLA Chetanya Sharma's father and others was registered on the basis of a complaint lodged by Congress MLAs Sanjay Avasthi and Bhuvneshwar Gaur.
Mr. Ashish and Mr. Chetanya are among the nine MLAs, including six Congress rebels and three independents, who voted in favour of the BJP nominee Harsh Mahajan in the recently held Rajya Sabha polls.
