The Election Commission (EC) on Monday directed the Varanasi returning officer to file an FIR or complaint against Congress candidate Ajai Rai for displaying his party symbol and talking to media at a polling booth amounting to "canvassing" which is barred on the voting day.

Official sources in the EC said that the FIR or complaint would be filed under Section 126 and 130 of the Representation of the People Act, 1951, against Rai. Rai landed in a controversy after he went to vote wearing his election symbol on his kurta, with BJP and AAP seeking action against him.
