The district electoral officer ordered a probe into reports of MPCC President Arun Yadav violating the Model Code of Conduct by allegedly doling out cash to a person during the Bhagoria weekly market in Jhirniya village during the Holi festival.
Yadav, who arrived here to take part in a party programme and also the weekly market, allegedly gave away Rs 200 to a person identified as "Kishan".
When the Madhya Pradesh Congress President took out the money and handed it over to Kishan, he was photographed by news reporters.
