Bhopal Mayor Alok Sharma lodged a complaint with Gautam Nagar police alleging manhandling and misbehaving by Minister Arif Aqeel’s brother with BJP workers at a polling booth at DIG Bungalow in Gautam Nagar area during Lok Sabha election voting in the State capital on Sunday morning.

 

 

SHO of Gautam Nagar M K Mishra said that the polling agent was not having identity proof, authority letter due to which he was not allowed and same was conveyed to ADM, who later resolved the issue on his arrival. The issue was reported at polling booth number 204-205 at Sahara Education Society. Mishra denied any complaint lodged by Bhopal Mayor Alok Sharma. After the incident Alok Sharma along with supporters reached Gautam Nagar Police Station and supporters created ruckus demanding action against local Congress leaders and supporters who threatened and removed BJP supporters and locals leaders from the area.

 

 

The claims by police are different from video of Alok Sharma in which he was found alleging forced removal of BJP agents and supports by brother of MLA Arif Aqeel, Amir Aqeel. Sharma claimed that the handbook for polling agent has been provided by District Collector Sudam Khade and during a meeting it was discussed that BJP do not have polling agent at few booths on which according to the manual District Collector Khade told that nearby polling booth agent could work at those booths and accordingly polling agent was working but after an hour Amir Aqeel arrived abused and removed forcefully around four polling agents from Arif Nagar area. He demanded that Collector should take action against such goons and hooligans.
