Janta Dal (United) National General Secretary Dhananjay Singh and over a dozen of his supporters have been booked for allegedly taking out a rally in Jaunpur, Uttar Pradesh, in violation of prohibitory orders and causing noise pollution, police said on Wednesday.
Mr. Singh, a former MP from Jaunpur, took out the Jan Ekta rally on Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel's 148th birth anniversary on Tuesday from Mohammad Hasan PG College to Patel's statue at the collectorate.
A huge crowd had gathered for the rally during which sound systems were used which blared out music flouting norms, said a complaint by Kanchan Pandey, the police outpost in charge of Shakarmandi.
