No, in that case the ECI introduced voting machines, and the rate of booth capturing reportedly went down. EVMs foiled some of the things that the booth capturers had in their favour with paper systems: the ability to stuff ballots at high speed with an organized gang of people (EVMs only allow a maximum of 1 vote every 12 seconds.) the ability to stuff a large number of ballots (EVMs have a cap on the number of ballots that a machine can store.). EVMs also had a panic button which could be used to shut them down in the event of an attempted booth capture. What they lacked was an auditable paper trail, and they have been surrounded by claims of hackability countered by counterclaims of intellectual property theft. Their first use was in 1982. You have over 35 years of Indian history and debate over these matters to catch up on in order to make an informed response to what z3phyr said.
