A polling party was suspended after it was found carrying EVM machines in private vehicle in Rampur area of Shimla district in the hill state. 

The party was intercepted by a group of Congress workers on Saturday night who filed a complaint with the election body and urged to take action citing violation of rules. The workers also alleged tampering with the machines. 

However, as soon as the incident was reported, Election commission authorities along with the police closely checked the EVM/VVPAT machines and said no tampering was found.

Officials claimed that the polling party used a private vehicle in a hurry to surrender the EVM/VVPAT machines and to be free from responsibility.

Himachal Pradesh assembly elections were conducted on Nov 12.
