Lucknow, Jan 12 (IBNS): An FIR has been registered against Uttar Pradesh transport minister and Samajwadi Party leader Gayatri Prasad Prajapati and two others for violating the model code of conduct in Fatehpur, according to media reports.

It was alleged that the saris were to be delivered to the minister’s aide Shailesh Mishra for distribution among the public.

According to local reports, the purchase report shown by the vehicle's driver had Prajapati's name on it.
