Ahmed’s wife, TV actress Swara Bhasker, raised concerns on social media platform X, alleging irregularities during the counting process. Bhasker claimed Ahmed had maintained a steady lead until rounds 17, 18, and 19 when Electronic Voting Machines (EVMs) with unusually high battery charges were introduced.
She wrote, “In Anushakti Nagar Vidhan Sabha, after a steady lead by Fahad Zirar Ahmad of NCP-SP… in rounds 17, 18, and 19, suddenly 99% battery charger EVMs are opened, and the BJP-supported NCP-Ajit Pawar candidate takes the lead.” Bhasker questioned the anomaly, asking, “How can machines that have been voted on all day long have 99% charged batteries? Why do all 99% charged batteries give votes to BJP and its allies?” She also tagged the Election Commission and key leaders of the Maha Vikas Aghadi in her post.
