The returning officer of EC OP pandey reacting to the allegations said that they received a complaint about money distribution at the house where Punjab Chief Minister Bagwant Mann was staying. 

He also said that we have to dispose of the complaint in 100 minutes. Our FST had come here which was not allowed to enter. I have come here to request them to let us enter along with a cameraperson. We will come back after an inquiry. The complaint of money distribution was received on the cVIGIL app.

He said any citizen can make such a complaint.

Atishi earlier alleged that the Aam Aadmi Party was being targeted and said people will give their reply during polling on February 5.

“Delhi Police have reached to raid Bhagwant Mann’s house in Delhi. BJP people are distributing money, shoes, bedsheets in broad daylight – this is not visible. Instead, they reach to raid the residence of an elected Chief Minister. Wow BJP! Delhi people will give the answer on the 5th,” Atishi posted on X.

EC sources said no raid has been conducted at Kapurthala House.
