Former PM's son's vehicle challaned for mode code violation

Mirzapur, Mar 29 (UNI) Police today challaned the vehicle of former prime minister late Lal Bahadur Shastri's son Sunil Shastri for violation of the poll model code of conduct.

The sports utility vehicle (SUV) of Mr Shastri was being used in his canvassing without valid pass.

Meanwhile, Mr Shastri claimed he had applied for passes to his six vehicles to be used in electioneering, but could not get it.

He asserted his pledge to follow the model code of conduct.
