Amit Jogi, former MLA and the son of former Chhattisgarh Chief Minister Ajit Jogi, has been arrested from his house in Bilaspur for allegedly giving wrong information in his election affidavit about his birth date and place.
The arrest followed a complaint by a BJP leader, Sameera Paikra, who alleged that Amit had falsely declared his year and place of birth as 1978 and Sarbehera Gaurela village in Chhattisgarh, when in fact he was born in 1977 in Texas.
“Amit Jogi will be produced in a court and action will be taken as per the orders of the court,” a police officer said.
