Gujarat: BJP MP's son live-streams hijacking of polling booth

In a shocking incident from Gujarat’s Dahod area, a Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader’s son allegedly hijacked a polling booth, live-streamed it and then deleted it. Vijay Bhabhor, son of BJP MP Jasvantsinh Bhabhor, captured the Electronic Voting Machine (EVM) and also reportedly posted the entire episode online.

Jasvantsinh Bhabhor is the present sitting BJP MP of Dahod parliamentary constituency.

According to local reports, Vijay Bhabhor hijacked the poll booth and captured the EVM (electronic voting machine) located in Dahod’s Parthampur village of Santrampur taluk of Mahisagar. Bogus voting was also reported. The BJP leader’s son even reportedly abused election officers on duty. Booth-capturing is often reported, but such a brazen act is unprecedented.
