In the notice, Assistant Returning Officer, Sohna (Gurgaon), Vivek Kalia has stated that the Flying Squad, Sohna, during its inspection conducted twice, on March 31 and today, at AAP party office at Sohna, found the office running without permission and those present there could not produce documents when demanded.
