The police in Thane district have registered a case after an aspiring candidate for the Lok Sabha elections 2024 accused a person with an identical name of taking his nomination papers by trickery and using them to submit his candidature, an official said on Saturday, reported news agency PTI.

In his police complaint on Friday, Milind Devram Kamble said a party had given him the 'A, B' forms, allowing him to file his nomination from the Bhiwandi Lok Sabha seat. A, B' forms denote that a political party has given the go-ahead to a certain candidate and the person should be allotted the poll symbol of that party, reported PTI.
