Bhadrak: Collector Trilochan Majhi has ordered a probe into the allegations of poll rigging by a woman relative of Sarpanch candidate of Fatehpur Panchayat in Tihidi block of Bhadrak during the third phase voting on Sunday.
The woman, Ritanjali Patra, from Zone-8, had forcibly entered booth no-4 in Badagallo school and cast multiple votes on a particular symbol. She could be seen snatching the ballot papers from several voters and casting all the votes by herself to ensure victory for her father-in-law Surendra Nayak, who is contesting for Sarpanch post.
The presiding officer was also threatened by the woman for opposing her act.
