A major controversy has erupted in Falta after a report by the Election Commission of India accessed by NDTV, flagged serious poll irregularities. The report alleges that EVMs were tampered with, including being taped to block votes, while voters were prevented from casting ballots and booths were allegedly captured. It also points to missing video footage for hours and significant security lapses. Further claims include bogus voting using false IDs, illegal voting by poll agents, and instances of group voting.
