The Lt Governor after examining the Lokayukta report, recommened criminal action against Congress Ex-MLA and has directed the vigilance department to issue action to Delhi Police.
Lieutenant Governor V K Saxena, based on a recommendation by Delhi Lokayukta, has directed police to register an FIR against former Congress MLA Jai Kishan for allegedly preparing "bogus" voter identity cards.
However, Mr Kishan, five-time MLA from Delhi's Sultanpur Majra assembly constituency, rubbished the charge and said that it is "politically motivated".
The Lokayukta recommended criminal action against Kishan for "interfering with fair election process", sources at LG office said, adding the allegations had surfaced in 2013-14.
"The LG has directed for criminal action against former MLA Jai Kishan after he was prima facie found to have indulged in preparing bogus voter identity cards at his own residential address to interfere with electoral process and undue electoral gains," the sources said.
