In the evening, Manohar went to the toilet and did not return for some time, according to a police official. When he did not come out, his friends went to see him, and they saw that Manohar had fallen, the official said. They took Manohar to the nearest hospital, where the doctor declared him dead.
According to witnesses at the scene, Manohar was feeling unwell and was struggling due to intense heat and humidity before he went to the toilet and did not emerge for an extended period, as per a Times of India report.
Aditya Thackeray Claims Heart Attack
Shiv Sena (UBT) leader Aditya Thackeray claimed that Manohar Nalge died of a heart attack while working at the polling booth in Mumbai.
"It is learned that bitter Shiv Sainik Manohar Nalge died of a heart attack while working at a polling booth in Mumbai today. Nalge G was working as a polling agent at the polling booth in Mhaskar Udyan of BDD Chal No. 20, Delide Road. This news was very shocking. A heartfelt tribute to Manohar Nalge!," Thackeray said in a post on X.
Aditya Thackeray criticised the Election Commission over the booth worker's death, saying that an agency that boasts about One Nation, One Poll cannot conduct the election process smoothly.
In another post on X, the Shiv Sena (UBT) leader said, "An agency that boasts about One Nation, One Poll, cannot conduct an election process that is smooth in even 1 constituency, forget the entire city. Citizens have complained about heat, suffocation in booths, possibly purposeful slow voting (voter suppression) especially in selective constituencies. The lack of separate lines for senior citizens and pregnant women in many booths, absence of fans, water and shade have angered the citizens. We Mumbaikars stepped out to vote, but your pathetic management/ purposeful voter suppression methods tried to keep us away from the booths. Nonetheless people stepped out and voted!".
To the @ECISVEEP , absolute pathetic management.
