Karnataka to Investigate Vote Rigging Claims in 2024 Elections
Karnataka's government is investigating claims of fake votes in the recent Lok Sabha elections, following accusations made by Rahul Gandhi.
Gandhi believes there was vote rigging, especially in Bangalore.
The investigation will involve the Law Department, with a report expected before local elections.
The government plans to take legal action based on the findings of the investigation.
Karnataka CM Siddaramaiah announced a Law Department investigation into alleged vote rigging in the 2024 Lok Sabha elections.
The investigation follows Rahul Gandhi's claims of electoral fraud, backed by what he called 'criminal evidence'.
Gandhi alleged over one lakh fake voters in the Bangalore Central Lok Sabha constituency, where the BJP won.

The CM said the Advocate General will be instructed to expedite the investigation and submit a report.
