The voting was stopped at a booth in Aryan Public School in Seelampur after a voter alleged fake voting.
"A woman voter who had come to vote was told that her vote had already been cast. At that moment the voting was stopped," Seelampur Block Level Officer Sabina Sadiq told the media.
According to Delhi Police, a PCR call was made by one 26-year-old Mohini, a resident of Usmanpur, that someone had voted in her name.
"The inquiry revealed that the confusion was due to a voter having the same name, Munni Devi, 60 years old having the same address. The 60-year-old woman was an earlier tenant of the same address. After verification the Presiding Officer allowed both the women to vote," police said.
"At 11:50 AM, at Aryan Public School, Jafrabad voting centre, BJP candidate from Seelampur constituency levelled allegations of bogus voting against AAP candidate. Upon this both the party supporters started sloganeering. When police officers with additional staff reached the spot and sorted out the matter, the situation is completely under control. No complaint has been received from any side from police so far," police added.
