A case was lodged against Telugu actor Allu Arjun on Saturday for allegedly violating Model Code of Conduct.
Arjun and YSRCP MLA S. Ravi Chandra Kishore Reddy have been accused of allowing a massive public gathering at the legislator's residence in Nandyala without seeking prior permission from the returning officer.
The case was registered by Deputy Tehsildar P. Ramachandra Rao who is overseeing the elections in Nandyala constituency.
The incident happened on Saturday when a huge crowd gathered at the MLA's home despite Section 144 being imposed in the district, thereby violating the election code. Section 144 is imposed 48 hours before elections begins as Andhra Pradesh is gearing up for simultaneous Lok Sabha and assembly polls on Monday.
Viral videos showed hundreds of fans and supporters of the actor outside the MLA's house as Arjun greeted and waved at them from the balcony.
