But by the time the police reached the spot, both the parties had disappeared from the spot. Further action will be taken after hearing from both the parties, said Arvind Shah.
The Incident:
Victim Ramji Lal Sharma is a voter of Raun Municipal Council Ward 6 who had gone to the polling booth at Government Middle School to cast his vote.
