Strongroom Drama Sparks Clashes Over EVM Tampering Allegations As High Court Rejects Plea

Описание: Late-night protests erupted outside strongroom premises following allegations by the ruling state party of electronic voting machine manipulation. The controversy began after a video surfaced showing activity inside the premises, leading to accusations that representatives were denied access. The state's chief minister visited the site, alleging that security forces blocked entry. Clashes broke out between rival political workers, prompting police to resort to lathi charges to disperse the crowds. The election commission dismissed the tampering allegations as frivolous, clarifying that the postal ballot room was opened according to standard procedures and that all electronic voting machines remain secure under a three-tier security system. Officials stated that political representatives were informed beforehand but failed to attend. Meanwhile, the state high court rejected a plea against the poll panel's decision to exclude state government employees from serving as counting supervisors, ruling that central government staff can fulfill the role. Heavy security, including paramilitary forces, has now been deployed to maintain peace at the counting centres.
