Patna: Two young women conjoined at the head since birth have earned the right to be treated as separate individuals with independent voting rights. Sabah and Farah (23), who live in Samanpura locality of Patna, would be casting their votes on Sunday as per their respective choices unlike the 2015 Assembly polls when their names were inscribed on a single voter ID card and their vote was treated as one.
"The twins cannot be denied their individuality on account of the way they are physically. They have different minds, different opinions and choices. Therefore, this time they have been issued separate voter ID cards and they will be allowed to cast their votes by turns," said Patna District Magistrate Kumar Ravi on Saturday.
