Moga, Feb 20: The Election Commission of India barred Bollywood star Sonu Sood on Sunday from attending polling stations in Moga, where his sister Malvika is running for the Punjab Assembly on a Congress ticket.
Sonu Sood has been accused of attempting to “influence” voters by taking pictures with them. After a complaint from Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD) leader Darjinder Singh alias Makhan Brar, the ECI impounded Sonu Sood’s automobile to prevent him from visiting various booths.
Sonu Sood was trying to enter a polling booth. During this, his car was confiscated and he was sent home. Action will be taken against him if he steps out of his house: Moga District PRO Pradbhdeep Singh

Moga SP has also been instructed to file a complaint by District Magistrate Harish Nayyar.
Sonu Sood, on the other hand, has disputed the charges, claiming that he never asked anyone to vote for his sister. He went on to say that he was only stopping by the polling booths placed up outside of polling stations.
He took to Twitter to accuse other Moga candidates of purchasing votes.
