Sharma arrived at his hometown Jogindernagar from Delhi a few days ago despite a nationwide lockdown.

In a letter to the DGP, Sharma alleged that a few days ago Mandi MP along with three other persons entered the state without informing the authorities even as there is a nationwide lockdown to contain the spread of coronavirus.

He said that as per the guidelines issued by the Union health ministry and the state government, the borders were sealed and no one was allowed to enter the state.

“If anyone enters the state with permission he must undergo 28-day quarantine at the facilities at border areas and FIRs are registered if someone enters without informing authorities,” said Sharma.

If the Mandi MP has entered the state without permission an FIR must be registered against him,” he added.
