Responding to a plea over the alleged presence of bogus voters in many assembly constituencies of the capital, the Election Commission told the Delhi High Court on Monday that it has issued the final electoral roll with all corrections.
The court’s Justice Vibhu Bakhru asked the commission to file an affidavit on the action taken on the issue of fake or bogus voters by January 13, the next date of hearing.
The plea was filed by Naresh Kumar, who contested on a Congress ticket from west Delhi’s Mundka seat in the last assembly polls.
Apprising the court that there were more than 41,000 holders of forged voter identity cards in his constituency, the petitioner sought the court’s direction for deletion of the names of bogus voters from the voters’ lists in the state.
“The voter identity cards are issued to a large number of bogus voters which may also be a security threat,” the plea said.
