New Delhi[India] Feb 21 (ANI) Saleena Singh, Chief Electoral Officer, Madhya Pradesh (MP), said her office has received complaints from several political parties, bringing to light several cases of voter fraud.
One name has appeared 2-3 times in the same voter list. In one of the lists for Mungaoli, one photo has been used 5-6 times as an identity for 5-6 different people. Even those who are now deceased or have moved out of Mungaoli, their names are still in the voters list.

Action has already been initiated, and the collector has been transferred. Further inquiries are being conducted to bring to light the scale of the fraud and action will be taken against those responsible. She assured everyone present that the whole issue will be sorted out within the next 24-25 hours. (ANI)
