Bihar polls: VVPAT slips found on roadside; election official suspended

Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar assured the public that the election’s integrity remains intact despite VVPAT slips found roadside in Bihar’s Samastipur.

The Election Commission acted swiftly after a video of the incident went viral.
