"We are not trying to avoid...The information is coming from 4-5 places. I can tell you honestly that we will take a decision...We have sought for information on this. It either must have come or may be on the way," Election Commissioner H S Brahma said while interacting with journalists here.
During a similar interaction here yesterday, Chief Election Commissioner V S Sampath had said that "it is a matter of fact (that Rahul was) seeing the EVM in a polling station."
Sampath had further said this particular instance will be examined vis-a-vis the law (Representation of the People Act).
