    What's the story

    Samajwadi Party (SP) leader Akhilesh Yadav has alleged that voters from Uttar Pradesh's Kundarki constituency were detained by police on their way to Lucknow.

    According to him, they were on their way to complain against alleged "electoral malpractices" in the recent bypolls.

    Bharatiya Janata Party's (BJP) Ramveer Thakur won the Kundarki seat, which is a traditional SP bastion, defeating 11 Muslim candidates by a huge margin of over 1.4 lakh votes.

    On election day, November 20, SP's Kundarki candidate, Mohammad Rizwan, had demanded a recount, citing major irregularities.

    Rizwan accused local officials of deliberate voter suppression against the minority community, alleging bias on the part of the administration and police.

    In light of the allegations, the Election Commission of India asked the Uttar Pradesh government to ensure fair bypolls and suspended at least seven police personnel for breaching voter guidelines.
