Replying to a query on the electoral violations by parties and individuals in the last Assembly elections in 2011, he said, of the 6,000 cases, over 300 of them involved bribery.
Since the bribery cases did not have enough evidence, charge sheets could not be filed in these cases, Kumar said.

For a query on whether there was any punishment awarded, he said, "I only heard of imposing of fine and there was no jail.
