In a bid to strictly enforce the Model Code of Conduct during the Ludhiana West by-election, Ludhiana Police have seized a vehicle loaded with ration and registered a case against its driver.
The incident happened on the evening of June 18 in the Main Bazaar area of Sham Nagar, Ludhiana. Local residents stopped a canter (registration number PB10 HT 6152) after noticing it was carrying a large amount of ration.

He has been booked under Section 173 of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita for allegedly attempting to bribe voters.
