Four polling officials have been suspended following allegations of failing to prevent external interference during voting at the residence of a 92-year-old woman at Kalliassery in Kannur district in Kerala. Kalliassery is part of the Kasaragod Lok Sabha constituency.
District Collector Arun K. Vijayan, who also serves as the District Election Officer, took action against the polling team members for their purported lapse in preventing the interference.
Those suspended include a special polling officer, polling assistant, micro-observer, special police officer, and videographer.
