The 25-year-old went home and chopped off his finger with a meat cleaver, as the sight of his finger was an angry reminder of his mistake.
An Indian man chopped off his index finger in desperation after voting for the wrong party in the country’s national election.
“He was very happy that he was voting for the first time ever,” Kumar’s brother Kailash Chandra told AFP by phone.“Every time he saw his ink-marked finger, he felt angry.” “I wanted to vote for elephant but it went to flower,” Kumar says on one video, adding that he had not been pressured to cast his ballot for a particular party.
