During the final phase of Lok Sabha elections in West Bengal, a mob at booths 40 and 41 in Kultali, South 24 Parganas, allegedly threw EVM and VVPAT machines into a nearby pond. The mob's actions were reportedly prompted by threats from Trinamool Congress (TMC) supporters. The West Bengal Election Commission swiftly responded, lodging an FIR and initiating necessary actions. Although reserve EVMs and papers were looted, the commission ensured that the voting process in all six affected booths continued without interruption by providing fresh EVMs and papers. This incident highlights the tense atmosphere surrounding the elections in the state.
