Sangeet Som, the BJP's controversial lawmaker in Uttar Pradesh, has been accused of violating the poll code after the police last night found CDs in a car he was using to campaign for next month's election. Sources say the CDs have around three hours of footage, including "sensitive" references to the 2013 Muzafarnagar riots for which Mr Som faced charges earlier and was even jailed. It also allegedly has the politician's speeches on the lynching of a Muslim man in Dadri over rumours that he had beef in his house.
