Alleged proxy voting reported in Siliguri; claims a young voter
Reports of voting irregularities have emerged from Booth 235 in Siliguri during the ongoing West Bengal Assembly elections, after a woman alleged that her vote had already been cast before she arrived to vote.
The voter was taken aback upon being informed that her ballot had been recorded, prompting concerns about possible proxy voting at the booth.
A representative of the Bharatiya Janata Party present at the polling station intervened, examining the matter and displaying documents on a mobile phone in an attempt to verify the discrepancy.
The BJP has since brought the issue to the notice of the Election Commission of India, urging a prompt investigation and corrective action over the alleged lapse.
