The Election Commission of India on Thursday ordered re-polling on May 11 at a polling booth under the Dahod Lok Sabha seat in Gujarat. A BJP leader’s son apparently live-streamed voting there on May 7 and the video went viral. The incident was reported as attempted booth capturing.
After the video went viral on social media, four election officials, including a presiding officer, an assistant presiding officer and two polling officers and a police constable were suspended.
The ECI declared voting at Parthampur polling station in Dahod parliamentary constituency null and void after taking into account a report submitted by the Returning Officer and Observer regarding irregularities.
