Career Development Secretary candidate Rupaiya Shrestha Tonchonga alleged that some ballots at the TSC center were already marked in favor of VP candidate Sadiq Kayem and GS candidate S.M. Farhad.
However, Returning Officer Dr. Nasrin Sultana dismissed the claim, saying: “We checked all ballot papers and found no such issue. The complainant left the booth and only then made the allegation.”
She added that a fresh ballot paper was still given to the student, and CCTV footage would be reviewed.
VP candidate Abidul Islam expressed outrage at the incident, while opposition-aligned teachers pressed for further accountability.
