Case against actor Allu Arjun for poll code violation
On Saturday, the Nandyal Police in Andhra Pradesh booked Tollywood actor Allu Arjun for visiting the house of his friend and YSRCP MLA Silpa Ravi, which led to the gathering of thousands of people on the road.
On learning about his visit, a large number of his fans gathered outside the house to catch a glimpse of their favorite star.
As Allu Arjun visited the MLA’s house without prior permission from the constituency’s Returning Officer, a case was booked against him and the YSRCP candidate on Saturday evening. Since Section 144 of the Election Code and Section 31 of the AP Police Act were in force, the case was registered against the actor and the MLA.
The case has been registered under Section 188 (Disobedience to order duly promulgated by a public servant) of the Indian Penal Code at the local Two Town police station.
The actor appeared on the balcony with his wife Sneha Reddy, Silpa Ravi, and the MLA’s family members, and waved at the huge crowd, which was chanting ‘Pushpa, Pushpa’.
Silpa Ravi, whose real name is Singareddy Ravichandra Kishore Reddy, is seeking re-election as a ruling party nominee in the May 13 elections.
