SP Candidate From Aonla Charged Of Forgery

Bareilly : Two persons, including the Samajwadi Party candidate for Uttar Pradesh’s Aonla seat, have been charged of forgery, police said on Monday.

According to them, the FIR was registered at the Kotwali police station on Sunday night in response to a complaint submitted by Abid Ali, the Bahujan Samaj Party candidate for the same Lok Sabha constituency.

Satyaveer Singh, a Shahjahanpur resident who submitted an unauthorized candidacy for the Aonla seat claiming to be a BSP candidate, and SP nominee Neeraj Maurya have been charged with different counts of forgery, according to Police Circle Officer (CO) Pankaj Srivastava. The BSP declared Ali’s candidacy for the Aonla seat, and he promptly filed his nomination.

Later, Singh filed a nomination for the same seat, claiming to be a BSP candidate. When the incident was probed on April 20, the Election Commission objected to the BSP’s two nominations for the same seat. According to a top district official, Ali’s candidacy was on the verge of being revoked, but once the BSP certified him the party’s authorized candidate, the EC cancelled Singh’s nomination.

According to the police, the BSP leader alleges in his complaint that SP’s Maurya orchestrated the entire plan. Meanwhile, SP District President Shiv Charan Kashyap described the FIR filed against Maurya as false. He stated that the SSP had told them that no wrong doing would take place in this issue.
