Abu Azmi under EC scanner for ‘cash distribution’

“We are checking the veracity of the reports that Azmi supporters were distributed money during the procession and if needed will take action,” an election official said.

Azmi,however,denied the allegation,saying the “question of distributing money does not arise. I don’t think such a thing has happened.”

Election officials had recently given notices to sitting Congress MP from Mumbai North Govinda for giving money to people outside his Juhu residence on Holi day.
