Police in Maharashtra’s Raigad district registered a non-cognisable case against a voter who made reels on his mobile phone while casting his vote on Tuesday and later published it on social media platforms, an official said.
The incident occurred in the afternoon at the polling booth no. 244 in Revdanda when the voting for the Raigad Lok Sabha constituency was on, he said.
A voter, Prasad Sharad Gondhali, took out his mobile phone and made a reel of the process of casting his vote and also of the voting for a particular candidate, said the official.
After recording the video of the process and making reels of it, the accused allegedly displayed it on his Instagram account and also put it as status message on his WhatsApp, he said.
As his act was in violation of secrecy norms related to the voting process, a complaint was filed against him on behalf of the government at the Revdanda Police Station. Accordingly, a non-cognisable case was registered against the voter, he said.
