MUMBAI: The Election Commission (EC) on Saturday issued notices to veteran Bollywood star Sharmila Tagore and her son Saif Ali Khan for organizing a party in Gurgaon without prior permission, an official said.

The event also continued on the night of Oct. 16. Fire crackers went off for several hours and loudspeakers blared.

The sub-divisional magistrate-cum-returning officer of Pataudi has complained to the EC that loudspeakers were used without prior permission during the celebrations. A cocktail party was also organized,” official spokesperson R.S. Sangwan said.
