Video Fabricated: EC on Smriti Irani’s ‘Booth Capturing’ Charge

Irani posted a video in which an elderly woman alleges that her hand was forcibly put on the Congress symbol.

A day after Union Minister and BJP’s Amethi candidate Smriti Irani alleged that her rival in the seat and Congress President Rahul Gandhi was "ensuring booth capturing", the Election Commission rejected the charge, terming it ‘baseless’.

The poll panel also said that the video tweeted by Irani to back her claim was ‘fabricated’.
