BJP booth agent seeks to remove 28 voters from northeast Delhi roll
A BJP-appointed booth agent filed requests to remove 28 voters from the electoral roll in a neighborhood in northeast Delhi.
The requests included the wife and son of tailor Sajid Hussain, who has lived in Dayalpur for more than 20 years.
The voters are Muslim residents of Mustafabad, and some applications cited that people had moved away or died.
The filings were made by Chandra Shekhar Nainwal during Delhi’s ongoing special intensive revision of voter lists.
The requests could affect whether the residents remain on the electoral roll if their names are deleted.
They were filed during a period when claims and objections to the voter list are being considered, but the outcome is not stated.
