South Indian actress and Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam?s (DMK?s) star campaigner Khushboo has been booked for violating poll code, the police said on Monday.
?Khushboo has been booked under two cases for violating the Model Code of Coduct-one for allegedly blockading road and disrupting traffic while campaigning at Palanichetti area in Theni; the other, for taking out a convoy of eight cars without prior permission at two places,? said a senior police officer.
The actress joined the ruling DMK in May last year after the Supreme Court recently quashed cases against her on her controversial remarks on pre-marital sex in an interview a couple of years back.
She is already involved with social work in the areas of HIV/AIDS, transgender and cancer and had opined that direct entry into politics will provide with a bigger platform to work better.
Khushboo?s entry into DMK spelt benefit for the party ahead of the state polls as she has a major fan following in the state, with fans even constructing a temple for her.
Tamil Nadu will undergo assembly elections on April 13.
