“I seek written apology from the Press Club Leh within next 48 hours for the false propaganda,” Ravinder Raina wrote in a letter. The Press Club in Leh had complained to the Election Commission that some BJP leaders tried to bribe reporters after Raina had addressed a media conference. The footage shows a person resembling BJP chief Raina chatting and shaking hands with journalists while his colleague hands over the envelopes to reporters. But Leh Press Club president Morup Stanzin said the envelopes were packed with Rs 500 notes and the reporters were told it was a “token of love”. Leh police chief Sargun Shukla said the footage had been sent to a court.
