'EVM belongs to my father,' says man live-streaming polling booth in Dahod
Updated: May 8th, 2024
In a shocking incident, at a polling booth in Gujarat's Dahod, a man named Vijay Bhabhor, whom the Congress has alleged to be the son of a local BJP leader, threatened booth workers and captured an EVM on May 7.
Bhabhor also live-streamed the entire incident on his social media platform. In the video, he can be heard saying, “Keep it open for 5–10 minutes; we are sitting here. I am Vijay Bhabhor, and the machine belongs to my father.”
The bizarre move by the Bhabhor highlighted a grave violation of voting discipline and law and order at Santrampur in Mahisagar district of Gujarat.
According to sources, Bhabhor had also conducted bogus voting by meeting other people.
Reacting to this, Congress Lok Sabha candidate Dr Prabha Taviyad complained against Bhabhor. The Election Commission had sought a report from the district collector in this matter.
An investigation will be conducted into this video. However, after the controversy sparked, Bhabhor deleted the video from his social media platform.
A complaint has also been registered against Ramesh Bhabhor, state BJP vice president (ST Morcha), who was detained by the authorities.
