In UP’s Sambhal, cops 'snatch IDs', ‘lathi-charged’ voters in Muslim-dominated villages
In at least four Muslim-dominated villages in Uttar Pradesh’s Sambhal, state police allegedly “lathi-charged” voters, injuring hundreds of people at polling booths during the third phase of polling on May 7. While the locals alleged that the police action was “unprovoked” and to “prohibit” them from voting for the Samajwadi Party, the police denied the charges.
Newslaundry reached out to the SHO of Asmoli police station, who first denied “having knowledge of any such thing” but later said at certain booths, some youths “got scared on seeing the police battalion and a stampede broke out”.
Notably, among the 10 constituencies in UP that cast their votes on May 7, Sambhal registered the highest voter turnout at 62.82 percent. It was marginally lower than the 64.71 percent voter turnout it recorded in the 2019 polls.
Locals said after the lathi-charge - allegedly at multiple times during the day - more people came out to vote out of anger. Meanwhile, some said if the lathi-charge had not taken place, there would be a higher voter turnout. The polling was stopped for some time at the booths that witnessed such incidents.
Some locals told Newslaundry they couldn’t vote because their “Aadhar cards and voter slips were snatched by police”. Several others, including women, showed marks of injury from being beaten with batons on their hands and legs.
A local woman said, “There were long queues of people to vote here, when 70-80 policemen entered and began checking people’s voter ID cards. They subsequently assaulted people with sticks, saying that their IDs were fake. I have been beaten many times on my elbows, buttocks and legs. We didn't even get a chance to escape. Women were also not left out.”

"UP's law and order has improved" biggest joke of the decade
Previously, gunda was in civil dress. After 2017, gundas are in khaki dress with more power. That's due to criminal becoming a cm.

Shame on ECI. Shame on the people who vote for the ruling party and justify them shamefully.
Lolz, if they had any shame, things wouldn't be this bad.
Ec has become godi ayog after the appointment of bhakts as its heads. Paltu kutte hai wo apne malik ke wafadar. Kuch nhi krenge.

No wonder, as election time comes Modi bought the ECI too for his convenience by bending the rules of appointment into ECI. And as suspected, the ECI is doing a wonderful job of supporting Modi and BJP that it puts to shame the term daylight robbery... As and when this Modi regime ends all of them like the ED, CBI, ECI, the PM and Home minister should be put to trial for destroying democracy and putting to shame the world's biggest democracy.

Election commission should take note and order re- polling in that booth.

This is a sign of BJP's desperation. Hope the country removes this gunda party from power once and for all.

British followed the "Divide and Rule" policy. RSS/BJP follows the "Demolish Masijd, Divide Opposition Parties and Destroy Democracy" policy.
Exactly and they didn't fight for the freedom the country but did appeasement politics with britishers. But people are fools.
RSS is a fascist wing of the cowards who couldn't even join in the fight for freedom for this country.
It's not the BJP or RSS it's the current leaders of BJP who should be blamed a party just signifies the name of it , actually the culprit here are the main members of the ruling party not BJP.

To the people of UP, there are still 4 phases of voting remaining; if you are a human being, go and vote against Yogi and Modi. EC, police, and every government official are for BJP only. It's your fight now. Only ordinary people can bring down the oppressor. This appeals to both Hindus and Muslims.

😡😡😡😡 it is very very sad to know. This happened in our country
We've been systematically moving towards this for 10 years, can't see why anyone would be shocked 🤔
Election commision should look into this as fast as possible. This is here clearly unreasonable harrasement with the people who were beaten because they came to vote. News media are busy covering all these politicians, putting their live speeches on air 24x7 rather than covering these. Kudos to newslaundry for covering this.
U think election commission will take action? They are under modi.... Bjp modi is the worst
I'd be pleasantly surprised if the election commision looks into this.
This was inevitable. BJP will crush people who stand against them. But we will stand by democracy. Vote wisely please! Save our country 🙏🙏🙏

And this is because of choosing illiterate man for CM in state.
They want to show their blind and rigid followers that we do cruelty with your enemy (Muslim) so give us Vote we will uphold it
And then they expect muslims to love them and be nice to them .
They don't hate or love anyone they love being in power (kursi) only

How horrendous and non sensitive can this news laundry reporter be to ask the man who is battered and lying on the cot to ask questions which are visible to any sane person. However hats off to all these people, especially the old woman who still went on to caste her vote and expressed her right to vote which was incredible 🙏 These miscreant and thugs (police) should be taken to task by the authorities and should be raised at the centre. It seems BJP is worried that the Muslim community could possibly impact their numbers here and therefore ensured to destabilize the voting here...
Which authority? There's no one. Only the citizens can take back power, and hold those with authority accountable.
