NCR filed against Congress, BJP workers in Bengaluru for influencing voters
Bengaluru: An incident of alleged violation of the model code of conduct during the ongoing elections in Bengaluru has led to the filing of a non-cognizable report (NCR) against workers from both the Congress and BJP parties. The incident occurred near a polling booth at the Baiyyappananhalli Police Station on Saturday.
Despite prohibitory orders in place during the voting process, workers from both parties reportedly clashed near polling booths numbered 91 to 94 in Suddaguntepalya on Friday. The altercation, which violated the model code of conduct, was eventually quelled by police intervention. An NCR was subsequently registered at the Baiyyappanahalli Police Station based on a complaint lodged by BBMP Officer Shrinivas and police personnel Chandrashekhar, who were present at the scene.
