FIR Registered Against BJP Worker for Posting Polling Booth Photo in Pimpri-Chinchwad Elections

Authorities in Pimpri-Chinchwad registered an FIR against BJP worker Nilesh Doke for allegedly violating election rules during the 2026 Municipal Corporation elections by carrying a mobile phone into a polling booth and posting a photograph of the Electronic Voting Machine on social media. The case, filed at Chinchwad Police Station, cites breaches of ballot secrecy and election norms. The incident sparked public concern over inconsistent enforcement, as ordinary voters were reportedly barred for similar offenses while the BJP worker's actions prompted official action only after media coverage.
