Bihar Muslim voters allege suppression in viral video, cast ballots after outcry
New Delhi: An incident at a polling booth in Bihar has sparked allegations of voter suppression after a video of three men claiming they were wrongfully denied their right to vote went viral during the 2025 Assembly Elections.
The political controversy began when the Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) shared the video on social media. The clip featured three voters, identified as being at Booth number 147 in the Sahebganj constituency, Muzaffarpur, alleging serious irregularities.
In the initial video, the men claim that when they arrived to cast their ballots, polling officials informed them, "Your vote has already been cast." They display their fingers, which have no indelible ink, as proof that they had not voted. "How can our votes be cast when we haven't done it?" one of the men asks, confirming they had their Aadhar and Voter ID cards with them. They state that officials and police instructed them to leave the booth.
The RJD amplified the video, tagging the Election Commission of India (ECI) and demanding action against what it called a "mockery of democracy."
Following the video's widespread circulation and the RJD's formal complaint, a second video of the same voters emerged. In this follow-up clip, the men confirm they were ultimately allowed to vote.
They display their inked fingers to the camera, verifying their votes had been successfully cast.
Amid the allegations, the Chief Electoral Officer (CEO) of Bihar's office responded on social media, describing the initial claims of fraud as "completely baseless and misleading." The CEO's statement insisted that "voting is running smoothly at all polling centers" and that all standard protocols were being followed.

Man rapes 13-year-old stepdaughter in Beed; booked
Beed, Apr 13 (PTI): A 13-year-old girl was allegedly sexually assaulted by her stepfather in Maharashtra's Beed district, police said on Monday.
Based on a complaint, the police have registered a case under the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (POCSO) Act in connection with the incident, which occurred on April 9, an official said.

On the afternoon of April 9, the accused allegedly sexually assaulted his stepdaughter while his wife was away and threatened her into silence, the official said.
