Dr GG Parikh, a centenarian independence warrior who has been voting since India's first general elections in 1951-52, voted in the Mumbai South Lok Sabha seat during Maharashtra's fifth and final phase of elections on Monday.

Despite the Election Commission of India's (ECI) option for home voting for senior individuals over 75, the wheelchair-bound Parikh (100) went to the polling station at Girton High School on Grant Road. Parikh, accompanied by social activists and his maid, arrived at the polling station at 10:30 am, reported PTI.
