The National Commission for Protection of Child Rights (NCPCR) has written to the Delhi Police to file a first information report, or FIR, over minors being used in the campaign of Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) candidate Durgesh Pathak for Delhi's Rajinder Nagar assembly bypoll.
The child rights body has also written to the Chief Election Commissioner on the issue, alleging violation of the election code by the AAP leader.
In both the letters, the NCPCR said it got a complaint from Delhi BJP chief Adesh Gupta.
"A viral video on social media has been provided showing that the minor children are being used as cheap substitute for paid labour for distributing pamphlets, pasting posters, hanging banners and even in participating in campaign rallies," the NCPCR said in the letter.
