ALLEGATIONS: Dr Khatumal and Dr Mahesh Kumar Malani have alleged that the henchmen of the Arbabs did not allow a number of polling agents of the PPP at the polling stations of Hariar, Mithrio Bhati, Gungio, Gogasar, Sahiaro, Bhorilo, Matare Jo Taar, Sainsar, and Vejhiar.
They claimed this while speaking at a press conference at the press club on Thursday.
They alleged that the henchmen of the Arbabs pushed around a good number of agents of PPP candidates at those polling stations besides “taking hostage and torturing” the chief election agent of Ashok Ratnani and Kirshan Sharma at the Gungio polling station, Mithi Taluka, on Thursday.
They alleged that the agents of the SDA voted by stamping scores of ballot papers at some polling stations after taking hostage the agents of Dr Ashok Kumar Ratnani on PS-61.
They demanded of the election commissioner and other authorities to probe into the matter and take action against the agents of the Arbabs for harassing the PPP’s agents and voters.
