Congress MLA from Bhopal Central Arif Masood and former State Minister and BJP leader Kamal Patel have been booked for allegedly taking their relatives inside polling booths while casting votes on May 7, the police said on Sunday.
The action came after complaints were lodged with the Election Commission. The two leaders or their kin had allegedly uploaded on social media, videos showing them inside the polling booths, police said.
Such complaints come to the district returning officers, who after going through those and finding them fit, forward them to the police for action, an EC official said on Sunday.
