Following imposition of model code of conduct for Uttar Pradesh Assembly elections, all police stations in the district have been instructed to be more vigilant and keep an eye on the suspected vehicular movement so that no political party and their workers may carry cash and other items to be distributed among voters during polls campaign, Senior Superintendent of Police Deepak Kumar said.

Also Income Tax department was informed and a team of I-T officers, headed by Deputy Director Sunil Yadav, reached the police station and also interrogated them
