East Delhi Electoral Officer K Mahesh on Saturday asked Delhi Police to register an FIR against Gautam Gambhir for rallying without permission from the commission in Jungpura on April 26.

Earlier, the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP)'s star candidate Atishi had filed a complaint against Gambhir, alleging that he has two voter cards in two separate neighbourhoods in the city.

AAP candidate Atishi claimed that she filed a criminal complaint against the BJP candidate from East Delhi Gautam Gambhir over his possession of two voter IDs in two separate constituencies of Delhi, Karol Bagh and Rajinder Nagar.
