Man live-streams from poll booth in Gujarat, detained for bogus voting
Dahod Lok Sabha constituency, officials said on Wednesday. The Congress has claimed that the man, Vijay Bhabhor, is the son of a local BJP leader and accused him of «insulting democracy» by going live on Instagram from the booth.
The police in the state's Mahisagar district detained Bhabhor and another man after the opposition complained to the Election Commission with a copy of the video. Though Babhor deleted the video after it drew criticism, the clip had gone viral on social media by then.
The incident of a man relaying a video live on Instagram after going to a poll booth to cast his vote is being probed, Dahod Returning Officer Nirgude Babanrao said.
«We have received the video with a complaint and an investigation is underway,» he said.
