The complainants alleged that Bhavya hid the details of three out of four cases being investigated by the Enforcement Directorate against him.

“The election commission should cancel his nomination for concealing the facts and information,” the complainants said in their complaints.

Returning officer (RO) for Adampur bypoll SC Sharma said BJP candidate Bhavya has mentioned that he is facing four cases and he did not hide any fact.

“His nomination has been approved during scrutiny of documents,” Sharma added. ENDS
