The by-poll for the Bandra (E) assembly constituency, held on Saturday, saw a 42% turnout, 5% less than during the 2014 assembly polls, with the day marked by drama as four politicians – Congress candidate Narayan Rane’s sons Nitesh and Nilesh, Shiv Sena MP Vinayak Raut and MIM MLA Waris Pathan – detained by police for violating the poll code. All four were released later.
