Haryana elections: Meham candidate Balraj Kundu alleges former MLA Anand Dangi attacked him
Chandigarh: Haryana Jan Sevak Party candidate Balraj Kundu, contesting from the Meham assembly constituency, has alleged that former Congress MLA Anand Singh Dangi assaulted him and his personal assistant at a polling booth in Rohtak district on Saturday.
In a video shared by PTI, Kundu claimed that Dangi tore his clothes and physically attacked him. "My PA was beaten up," Kundu stated, while showing the PA’s bruised face and ripped vest. He explained that the incident occurred while he was visiting polling booth number 134 in the constituency.
Kundu suggested that the alleged incident stemmed from Dangi's dissatisfaction with the election chances of his son, Balram Dangi, who is contesting as a Congress candidate for the Meham seat.
Kundu further requested voters to stay calm and maintain peace during the electoral process.
With over two crore people eligible to vote, polling began on Saturday morning for all 90 assembly seats in Haryana. The results are set to be announced on October 8.

11 more bodies retrieved from Arunachal accident site
Itanagar (PTI): Eleven more bodies were retrieved on Saturday from the deep gorge in Arunachal Pradesh's Anjaw district, where a mini-truck on which 22 labourers from Assam were travelling fell, an official said.
With this, 17 bodies have been recovered from the accident site, Anjaw's deputy commissioner Milo Kojin said.
He said three more bodies will be brought out on Sunday.
The operation, being conducted by a joint team of the NDRF and Army, resumed at 6 am.

"The retrieval process was extremely difficult because of the treacherous terrain, and the gorge is very deep," Kojin said.
The operation was suspended around 4 pm due to low visibility and will be resumed on Sunday morning, he said.
"One person is still missing, and a search operation will be carried out tomorrow," he added.
The accident happened on the evening of December 8, around 40 km from Hayuliang towards Chaglagam in the district. On the evening of December 10, one survivor managed to climb out of the gorge and reach a nearby Border Roads Task Force (BRTF) labour camp, following which the authorities were alerted.
Six bodies were recovered from the gorge on Friday and handed over to their families on Saturday.
