Supporters of Congress leader Bidesh Singh carrying rifles during the victory procession
Supporters of Congress leader Bidesh Singh today fired gun shots in the air to celebrate the MLA's victory from Panki Assembly seat in Jharkhand, two days after the election results were announced.
"We have received the information about it and have asked all police stations under the constituency to give a report regarding it (firing of gun shots in the air)," Palamau Superintendent of Police Mayur Patel said in Medininagar.
Mr Patel told PTI that there was no report of any victory procession led by the candidate, but reports of gunshots were received.
Mr Singh retained the seat this time, which he had won as an independent last time.
