On Monday, BJP leader Kirit Somaiya accused Shiv Sena (UBT) leaders Sanjay Raut and Sunil Raut of indulging in unethical practices outside a polling booth in Bhandup, Mumbai, where voting was taking place.

Somaiya, a former MP, also claimed that two Shiv Sena (UBT) activists were detained for using a phoney electronic voting system. MLA Sunil Raut, brother of Rajya Sabha member Sanjay Raut, denied the claims, claiming that a dummy EVM was placed outside the 100-metre radius of the polling booth just for instructional purposes. He claimed the police took it under political pressure, reported PTI.
