Sidhu Evades Bihar Police for a Week, Notice Pasted Outside House

The Congress MLA was booked in the 2019 Lok Sabha polls on charge of violating the model code of conduct.

The Bihar police on Wednesday, 24 June, put up a notice outside Congress MLA Navjot Singh Sidhu's residence following no response from the latter to meet regarding a case registered against him, NDTV reported.

The cricketer-turned-politician remained unavailable for over a week to a Bihar Police team camping in Amritsar city in Punjab to serve him a notice in an election-related case against him.

According to news agency IANS, the Congress legislator was booked in the 2019 Lok Sabha polls on charge of violating the model code of conduct by exhorting Muslim voters to unite and vote en block against Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

A first information report was registered with the Barsoi police station in Katihar district in April last year on the directive of the Election Commission.
