Delhi Police has registered a case against AAP MLA and Okhla Assembly candidate Amanatullah Khan for allegedly violating the Model Code of Conduct (MCC). The case has been filed at Jamia Nagar Police Station under FIR No. 95/25, invoking sections 223/3/5 of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS) and Section 126 of the Representation of the People (RP) Act.

The alleged violation comes on the day of voting for the Delhi Assembly Elections 2025, which is being held across all 70 constituencies. Security measures have been heightened across the capital to ensure free and fair polling.

According to police sources, an FIR was lodged at Jamia Nagar Police Station after a video surfaced online purportedly showing Khan distributing stickers and election materials in the Batla House area late on Tuesday night, as reported by news agency PTI.

“Based on the video and subsequent investigation, an FIR has been registered. Further inquiries and investigation are underway,” a police official said.

The Election Commission’s Model Code of Conduct prohibits campaign activities after the designated deadline, which in this case ended on Monday evening. Authorities are now probing the incident for further violations.

Polling for the Delhi Assembly Elections 2025 is currently underway across 70 constituencies, with tight security measures in place to ensure a free and fair election process.
