A video showing a man firing outside a polling booth in Dhanbad has emerged. It is being claimed that the video is from the municipal elections that were held on Tuesday, 25th of May. Such cases are not new, and there have been many cases of booth-capturing, voter-bribing, threatening and violence in different parts of India.However, what is shocking is the manner in which successive administrations have failed to curb this nonsense. Police presence outside polling booths is mandated by law, but in this video the police are nowhere to be seen when the shooting starts. Even towards the end, when a young boy shot by a bullets is about to faint, the policeman is making no effort to help.It must be noted that it is the responsibility of the state police to ensure adequate security during local elections. In this case the Jharkhand police and Jharkhand government need to answer why adequate measures were not in place to avoid such incidents.
