Candidates of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), the Congress and the Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) Sandhya Rai, Devashish Jararia and Babulal Jamore, respectively, in the Bhind parliamentary constituency of Madhya Pradesh were put under a day-long house arrest on Sunday as a preventive measure during polling for the sixth phase of the Lok Sabha elections.
Several other leaders and candidates, including former MLA Narendra Singh Kushwaha, have also been placed house arrest.
Kushwaha said he had gone to cast his vote and on his return, the police asked him to stay indoors till polling ends at 6 p.m.
