Violence As Assam Poll Team With EVM Hitches Ride On BJP Candidate's Car

A poll panel team's unexplained decision to use a private vehicle to transport an electronic voting machine (EVM) at the end of polling sparked violence in Assam's Barak Valley region yesterday. The police resorted to firing blank shots in the air and baton-charging a massive mob, mostly of opposition supporters, which surrounded the car, incidentally belonging to a BJP candidate in Karimganj district. The EVM is secure as are the election personnel, authorities have said.
