Sonu Sood
Moga, February 20
The EC on Sunday restrained actor Sonu Sood from visiting polling stations in Moga following a complaint of influencing voters. Sood’s sister Malvika Sood is the Congress candidate from the seat.
Police officials said Sood’s car was impounded to prevent him from visiting polling booths. A complaint was filed with the EC by a supporter of SAD candidate Barjinder Singh, alias Makhan Brar. Sood, however, denied the allegations. “I’m a local resident. I have not asked anyone to vote for any particular candidate or party. I was just visiting our (Congress) booths set up outside polling stations,” he claimed.
District Magistrate Harish Nayyar has sought a report from the Moga SSP on the incident.
Later, Sood took to Twitter accusing other candidates of trying to buy off votes. —
