Chandigarh mayor polls: AAP releases new CCTV clip of ‘ballot paper tampering’ by Anil Masih, attacks BJP

Hindustan Times  

New Delhi: Hours after the Supreme Court called the cancellation of votes during the Chandigarh mayoral elections a mockery of democracy, the Aam Aadmi Party on Monday released a new purported video of the presiding officer allegedly tampering with the ballot papers before declaring them invalid. The BJP's candidate won the Chandigarh mayoral elections despite the Congress-AAP alliance having more numbers in the Chandigarh municipal council, after the presiding officer, Anil Masih, declared 8 votes invalid. Hearing the plea by the AAP candidate Kuldeep Dhalor who lost to his BJP rival Manoj Sonkar on January 30, the court said the presiding officer must be prosecuted. We will not allow democracy to be murdered," said CJI Chandrachud, as the bench issued a notice directing the returning officer Anil Masih to be personally present in court on February 19.
