Kundapur: A 30-year old youngster who had sustained severe leg injuries and fracture in a road accident three weeks back, and was advised bed rest for three months by the doctors, on Thursday exercised his voting right by reaching polling station in an ambulance and casting vote in stretcher with medical assistance.
