The Election Commission seems to have stepped up efforts to enforce model code of conduction for the upcoming Lok Sabha polls.
Flying squads on Saturday suddenly conducted a raid at a hotel in Sivasagar town where Jorhat Congress candidate Biojoy Krishna Handique had a meeting with a few party men.
But Handique said that he was holding a party meeting inside the hotel and the flying squad found nothing to incriminating materials to be seized.
The raid was conducted hours after Handique distributed money to a section of tea community leaders. But the money in cash was removed minutes before the flying squads arrived in the hotel.
