Falta re-election: Row-hit Bengal seat sees high turnout; Jahangir Khan fails to vote

NEW DELHI: Repolling in West Bengal’s Falta assembly constituency recorded a brisk 74 per cent voter turnout till 3 pm on Thursday, with election officials also stating that TMC candidate Jahangir Khan did not cast his vote. Polling remained largely peaceful through the day following heightened scrutiny after the Election Commission countermanded the earlier election over allegations of EVM tampering and manipulation of web camera footage.
