In a viral video, Latha was seen asking the women voters at a polling booth to lift the burqa and show their face so that she could verify the identity.

The case against Tharoor was registered based on a complaint by BJP leader JR Padmakumar for making defamatory remarks against opponent Chandrasekhar during a television programme.

The case has been registered at the Kaithun police station of the district. The accused teacher will be produced before a court on Sunday, Circle Officer (Kota Rural) Gagendra Singh said.
