The video, which went viral on social media, shows Macherla MLA Pinneli Ramakrishna Reddy walking into a polling booth in his constituency in Palnadu district, going straight to the voting compartment, lifting the EVM, and throwing it on the ground. The incident occurred at the Palvai Gate polling booth in Rentachintala mandal of Palnadu, one of the three districts which witnessed poll-related violence.

Simultaneous elections to the 175-member state Assembly and 25 Lok Sabha seats were held on May 13. The incident of the MLA damaging the EVM was recorded on the web camera at the polling booth.
