While political parties are distributing tickets to their candidates for the upcoming Panchayat Polls, the Asom Gana Parishad has raised quite a few eyebrows by giving ticket to a convicted poacher.

There are still a few pending cases against Doley at the Golaghat district court. Doley, who hails from the Moh Maiki village, even admitted to the fact that he was formerly a poacher.
