NCP (SP) leader Ajit Gavhane claimed that several affected voters discovered the changes only when they reached polling booths during the 2024 Maharashtra Assembly elections. (File Photo)Election authorities in Pune have filed a police complaint alleging that 40 voters were moved out of the Bhosari assembly constituency through online Form 8 applications submitted using four mobile numbers in October 2024, PTI reported. The applications were allegedly filed by third parties without the voters’ consent. Police have registered a non-cognisable offence against unidentified persons, and the 40 voters’ names have been restored to the constituency’s electoral roll. The action follows a complaint by NCP (SP) leader Ajit Gavhane, who alleged that around 15,000 voters had been fraudulently deleted or shifted, including a majority of Muslims. These wider claims have not been established by the authorities’ complaint.If you are just joining us, this is The Indian Express Realtime breaking news blog – where we bring you the latest news updates of the day in real time.
