"Also, strict action would be taken against that candidate according to the rules," he said.
Bharti said that a special team has been constituted to keep vigil on candidates and directions have been issued to depute four doctors to examine the candidates before their registration.
"The commission had already warned candidates regarding it through its notification issued on March 16," he said.
