His act has been accounted as a violation to the model code of conduct and a case has been registered in Malpe police station over illegal gathering when poll code was in effect and also under the Child Labour (Prohibition and Regulation) Act 1986 for using underage children.

The case was registered based on the complaint filed by election flying squad official Mohanraj.

    Committing crime or going against law is a habitual practice for this porn film watcher MLA. His leader and his party itself using kids in party's election advertisement, then naturally he too will follow his master. To gain votes these people will stoop to any level.
    Just praying let our district freed from these communal law breakers. And may Mr. Pramod become victorious by the grace of God and with the support of Udupi District people.

    Then, Modi should also get punishment for forcibly bringing kids into politics, who were recently watching POGO channels, half politicians into full time politics .....
    Election time politicians into mainstream politics, election time Hindus to full time Hindus ....
    Atheists to Janoidhari Dattatreya Gotra Kashmiri Brahmins ....

    It's a national shame that a party can stoop so low to use kids in its campaign. No law for these people, law can only arm twist common, helpless and taxpaying citizens.
