Kolkata, March 15 (IANS) Chief Election Commissioner Nasim Zaidi on Tuesday said the poll panel will examine the video of the purported sting operation carried out by a news portal and pass it on to the relevant authorities.
Addressing the media here, he said the poll panel has received the video from political parties.
"We have received representation (video) from political parties... we will get it examined.. we will pass it on to the relevant authorities," said Zaidi.
