According to the PTI, a case under section 188 (disobedience to order duly promulgated by a public servant) of the Indian Penal Code and provisions of the Maharashtra Police Act has been registered against Chandrahar Patil and three organisers, the official said.
Chandrahar Patil and his party workers allegedly held a 'padayatra' and paid door-to-door visits in Khatao and Bedag villages in Miraj area of Sangli district in Maharashtra on April 25, without obtaining permission from the assistant returning officer (ARO), thus violating the model code of conduct, he said, according to the PTI.
