Election Day in Madhya Pradesh, 2023, witnesses voting across all 230 seats of the state assembly. However, disturbing reports of violence are surfacing from the Gwalior-Chambal region. An incident involving gunfire occurred in the Dimani area of Morena, a prominent assembly seat. A clash erupted between two communities, resulting in the firing of bullets and pelting of stones, causing severe injuries to a youth, with three to four others reportedly wounded.
Following the incident, security personnel took control, lathicharged the troublemakers, and cleared them from the polling booth vicinity. Numerous individuals were apprehended, and police lathi-charged many after entering their homes. Police and BSF deployed to the area are attempting to restore order.
In response to the reported violence, security measures were heightened in the Dimani assembly constituency.
