Overview
- The viral clip shows Samastipur MP Shambhavi Chaudhary displaying ink on her right finger and then her left after voting in Patna on November 6.
- Following inquiries with the presiding officer at Polling Station No. 61 in Buddha Colony, the district administration said staff first inked the right hand by mistake and then corrected it.
- The administration stated Chaudhary’s name appears at Serial No. 275 on the voter list at the booth and confirmed she cast a single vote.
- RJD spokesperson Kanchana Yadav and the Congress shared the video to allege fraud and called for action by the Election Commission.
- Reports note there has been no public statement from Chaudhary or the Election Commission, and election-day inking errors can produce marks on more than one finger without indicating multiple votes.
