A municipal candidate in Dollard-des-Ormeaux says his campaign posters were targeted in an act of vandalism over the weekend.

Pulkit Kantawala, who is running for councillor in District 7, says at least 10 of his election posters were defaced with red paint sometime overnight between Sunday and Monday.

The damage appeared to be limited to his posters, even when displayed alongside other candidates.

“Whether my poster was on top or at the bottom, or in the mix with other candidates, only mine was vandalized,” Kantawala told CityNews. “It is done with red paint… someone has taken a big paintbrush and covered my face, my name, everything.”

‘Why is this happening to me?‘

Kantawala says he was first alerted early Monday morning when friends began sending him photos of the vandalized signs.
