“Two FIRs have been registered by the city crime branch in connection with the events,” Gujarat DGP P C Thakur told PTI in Ahmedabad.
One of the FIRs is against television channels which broadcast the press conference.
Sources in the crime branch said that as per EC directive, FIRs have been registered invoking provisions under the Representation of the People Act, which provides for imprisonment up to two years or fine or both.
Modi, a voter in a booth in Ranip in Gandhinagar Lok Sabha constituency, cast his vote and then addressed a press conference outside the booth attacking Congress but repeatedly displayed ‘Lotus' by holding it high in his hand, which is a clear violation of the law.
