Somaiya, a former MP, also claimed that two Shiv Sena (UBT) activists were detained for using a phoney electronic voting system. MLA Sunil Raut, brother of Rajya Sabha member Sanjay Raut, denied the claims, claiming that a dummy EVM was placed outside the 100-metre radius of the polling booth just for instructional purposes.
