EC to examine bribe charges against K Raghavan

The Election Commission was investigating the bribe charge against Kozhikode MP and UDF candidate M K Raghavan, said Chief electoral officer Teeka Ram Meena on Saturday.

"If the candidate wins the poll and the allegations raised against him turn out to be true, it will have serious consequences," Meena said.

A video clipping allegedly showed Raghavan agreeing to accept Rs 5 crore in return for offering land to set up a hotel in Kozhikode. Raghavan said the video was made-up.
