Repoll in Gujarat booth as videos show ‘bogus voting’ by BJP man’s son

1 year ago 22

GANDHINAGAR: The Election Commission (EC) has cancelled votes in Parthampur booth of Gujarat's Dahod LS seat and ordered a

repoll

on May 11 following alleged booth capturing and

bogus voting

Tuesday by the son of a BJP member who streamed it live on social media. Vijay Bhabhor was arrested earlier and five election officials at the booth suspended, including the presiding officer, his deputies and a constable.

The action followed a probe report from the Dahod returning officer.
Bhabhor allegedly went into the booth at 5.49pm and left at 5.54pm, live-streaming his acts. Although he deleted the video after it went viral, officials alleged that he voted for two others.

Congress urged EC Thursday to take cognisance of other such irregularities. "Complaints have been filed by Congress. EC must act on all irregularities," party spokesperson Manish Doshi said.
