'CCTV was never off, nobody was beaten up': Bengal CEO refutes Mamata Banerjee's assault claims

Kolkata, West Bengal: On West Bengal CM Mamata Banerjee's allegations on EVMs, State Chief Electoral Officer Manoj Kumar Agarwal says, "We cannot answer if there is nothing specific. What were these machines? What tables were these on? What Assembly seat was it? How can we answer if these specifications are not clear?" On CM's allegations that she was manhandled at counting centre, he says, "CCTV camera was never off. I also spoke with the DEO; nobody was beaten up. Such things never happen with any candidate. If at all it happens, a complaint is filed and FIR is lodged. Neither a complaint was received nor was an FIR lodged. Nothing like that happened."
