In Nagpur, India, supporters of a BJP candidate locked him inside his home to prevent him from withdrawing his nomination for the January 15 civic polls. The party had initially fielded two candidates for ward 13 (D) but asked one, Kisan Gawande, to withdraw. Gawande's supporters, wanting local representation, prevented his withdrawal. Party leaders intervened, pacified the workers, and Gawande subsequently withdrew his nomination.
