Pune was among the 11 Lok Sabha constituencies in Maharashtra which voted on Monday. The voting concluded in peaceful manner, however, the polls were marred by allegations of bogus voting, missing names and money distribution.
In one of the cases of missing names, a man who had come form Singapore to vote could not vote because his name was missing from the list. Speaking to the Pune Mirror, Shriyash Kulkarni, a Pune voter residing in Singapore, said that he could not vote as his name was missing from the voter's list. He also said that his voting slip was not delivered to him.
He was not the only person to see his name missing form the list. Additionally, activist Vishambhar Chaudhary on Monday claimed that his name was missing in voter list this year. Like every poll, he reached the polling station in Shivajinagar Pune for voting in the Pune Lok Sabha Polls, however, he could not vote as his name was missing form the list.
