A total of 330 first investigation reports (FIR) have been filed against various political parties for defacement of property, money power and distribution of alcohol to influence the voters.

Vijay Dev said the violations this time were of serious nature and so the cases have been filed under the Indian Penal Code, making it mandatory for the courts to act.

He said 90 cases had been filed against AAP, 75 against the Bharatiya Janata Party, 60 against Congress, 23 against the Bhujan Samaj Party and the remaining 82 cases against other political parties.
