Sonu Sood claimed he received information that "threat calls" were being made at various polling booths in Punjab's Moga by "Opposition, especially Akali Dal" so he had gone there to check.

New Delhi: Hours after the Election Commission (EC) on Sunday restrained Sonu Sood from visiting polling booths in Punjab’s Moga constituency, the actor said he had gone there to “check” the situation. Sonu Sood claimed he received information that “threat calls” were being made at various polling booths by “Opposition, especially Akali Dal” and money was also distributed.

“We got to know of threat calls at various booths by the Opposition, especially the people of Akali Dal. Money being distributed at some booths. So it’s our duty to go check and ensure fair elections. That’s why we had gone out. Now, we are at home. There should be fair polls,” Sonu Sood was quoted as saying by news agency ANI.
