Investigation and Legal Action Following Voting Accusations on Gujarat
Based on a report from Santrampur Mamlatdar I.P. Pathan, Mahisagar ASP V.P. Bheda informed TNIE that a FIR has been filed against two people, Vijay Bhabhor and Magan Damor.
“The charges include IPC Section 128, 121, 122, 131/B, 171/D, and 135. Both the accused have been detained,” ASP Bheda said. “Presently, we’re probing the involvement of the presiding officer in the incident. If his complicity is established, appropriate action will be taken against him as well,” he added.
Bhabhor, according to the police officer, came at the voting place at 5:49 p.m. and left at 5:54 p.m. In the little time that passed, he supposedly did a live Instagram feed and participated in fraudulent voting by selecting votes for two other people.
Congress Raises Concerns and Calls for Action Amid Voting Accusations on Gujarat
Following the event, Dr. Prabhaben Taviad, the Congress candidate from Dahod, lodged a complaint against Vijay Bhabhor with the district election officer and collector.
The Election Commission has been urged to act in reaction to the occurrence by the Congress party. Following the escalation of the event, a FIR has also been filed by the relevant area’s Tehsildar. Neha Kumari, the Mahisagar District Collector, has opened an investigation into the situation.
Dr. Manish Doshi, a spokesman for Congress, questioned if common people would be permitted to commit such crimes without facing any consequences. “It is a very serious matter.. Why has the police failed to act against the BJP leader’s son?” he asked. Doshi urged the Election Commission to arrange a re-vote at the booth.
The incident unfolded at booth 220 Parthampur, situated in the Mahisagar district within the Dahod Lok Sabha constituency and falling under the Santrampur assembly constituency.
Notably, Kuber Sinh Dindor, the current MLA for this seat, also serves as the state government’s minister of education. This location became the focal point of voting accusations on Gujarat.
