Delhi Police Registers Case Against Manish Bidhuri For Violating Model Code Of Conduct

New Delhi [India]: Delhi Police has responded to allegations made by AAP candidate Atishi from Kalkaji, accusing Manish Bidhuri, son of BJP leader Ramesh Bidhuri, of interference in the constituency during the ‘silence period.’

The official handle of the Deputy Commissioner of Police, South East Delhi, posted on X, stating that a case has been registered against Manish Bidhuri for violating the Model Code of Conduct (MCC).

“In this matter, taking cognizance of the complaint against Manish Bidhuri & Ravi Dayama for violation of MCC, legal case under section 126 RP Act has been registered against them in PS Govindpuri,” the statement read.

Delhi Chief Minister and AAP leader Atishi alleged that, in addition to Manish Bidhuri, “Three more members of Ramesh Bidhuri ji’s family – who live in Tughlakabad village – were found roaming in the Kalkaji assembly constituency at 1 am.”

Responding to this, the Delhi Police clarified, “With regard to the above tweet, the vehicle was checked in the presence of Exe-Magistrate I/C FST of AC-51, but no violations were found. Proper verification was carried out,” said the DCP South East Delhi.

Additionally, the police reported that Atishi herself, along with a group of 50-70 people and 10 vehicles, was found violating the MCC late at night.

“On February 4 at 12:30 am, AAP candidate from Kalkaji (AC-51) with 50-70 people & 10 vehicles was found at Fateh Singh Marg. Police instructed them to vacate due to Model Code of Conduct (MCC). On complaint by FST, a case under section 223 BNS & 126 RP Act is registered at Police Station Govindpuri,” the DCP said.

In another update, the DCP South East Delhi stated that two AAP members, Ashmit and Sagar Mehta, obstructed and assaulted a Head Constable on duty.

“On 04/02/25, at 00:59 hrs, a gathering was reported at Baba Fateh Singh Marg, Govindpuri. HC Kaushal Pal responded & began videography. AAP members Ashmit & Sagar Mehta obstructed & assaulted him,” the statement read.

“FIR No. 106/25 is registered under section 221/132/121(1)/3(5) BNS at PS Govindpuri for causing obstruction in discharge of public duty & assault while on duty. Further investigation is in progress,” the DCP added.

Atishi claimed that Manish Bidhuri was seen with 3-4 outsiders in the area despite restrictions on external interference during this period.

Speaking to ANI, Atishi said, “Today, the election campaigns have ended. During the silence period after 6 pm, no one from outside is allowed in the Assembly constituency. We received information that someone from Ramesh Bidhuri’s Tughalaqabad team is threatening the people in JJ camp, Girinagar area.”

“We saw that Ramesh Bidhuri’s son, Manish Bidhuri, was sitting here with 3-4 other outsiders. I informed the administration about this. The police have taken him, I hope action will be taken and no one other than the residents of Kalkaji Assembly will be allowed here,” she added.

The ‘silence period,’ which begins 48 hours before elections, prohibits any campaign-related or election-related activity, ensuring that no political influence affects voters before polling day.

The Kalkaji assembly constituency is expected to be one of the most closely watched battles in Delhi. Atishi faces competition from BJP’s Ramesh Bidhuri and Congress party’s Alka Lamba.

Voting for the Delhi Assembly elections is scheduled for Wednesday, with results set to be announced on Saturday.
