On Wednesday, as voting began for all 70 seats in the 2025 Delhi Assembly election, a post on X gained significant attention due to its unusual image. The photo showed a voter’s index finger, which seemed like it was dipped in a bottle of indelible ink. The image was shared by Ansh (@the_wingedman) on X with the caption, “Tehelka voting.”
