37 dead persons voted in Arunachal: Congress

The BJP “brought back to life” 37 people for casting votes at the polling stations in Pating and Checki villages on April 11, says Tai Nikio, Congress candidate for the Nyapin Assembly seat in Kurung Kumey district of Arunachal Pradesh.
Also, the EVMs in the Nyobia circle of the district could have been tampered with as six booths did not have CCTV cameras, he said on Sunday.
Elections were held to 57 of the 60 Assembly seats in the State. Three candidates won uncontested.
“We have lodged complaints at the office of the Chief Electoral Officer on the dead voters besides filing an FIR on blatant violation of election procedures,” Mr. Tai said, demanding re-polling.
“Our polling agents were barred from entering some polling stations. A few were also kidnapped and tortured. Bamang Jarjo, a polling agent, was threatened with dire consequences,” he said.
