Patna : During the first phase of the Bihar assembly election, Lok Janshakti Party (LJP) (Ram Vilas) Member of Parliament (MP) Shambhavi Choudhary was accused of ‘vote chori’ after she was found having ink marks on both her hands.

In a now viral video, Shambhavi was seen with her family after casting her vote, posing for photos. It shows her lifting her right hand with the vote ink mark, and later putting it down to reveal her other hand also showing an ink mark.

After the video got several responses accusing her of voting more than once, the Patna District Administration issued a statement clarifying the situation.

They stated in an X post that the polling staff had ‘mistakenly applied’ ink on her right hand and had rectified the error by reinking her left hand.
