In a major setback for AIMIM repeating the Lok Sabha Polls, BJP's Atul Save defeated AIMIM's Imtiaz Jaleel in a neck to neck fight.

As per the data, Jaleel lost the poll by 1000 votes.

Both Save and Jaleel have led alternatively as the rounds of vote counting progressed through the morning.

Although the website of the Election Commission is yet to update the numbers, Jaleel's son Bilal Jaleel has confirmed the defeat.

Three days ago, Jaleel on Thursday alleged bogus votes were cast in Aurangabad East seat during Maharashtra assembly polls held a day earlier.

He showed a couple of videos to the press and sought action from poll authorities.
