Probe finds call centre was set up to facilitate Aland voter theft
The New Indian Express Bhubaneswar
|October 26, 2025
A call centre with around five computers was set up for the purpose of filing 6,018 fraudulent Form 7 applications on the Election Commission website for the deletion of names of voters in Karnataka’s Aland constituency, sources said on condition of anonymity, as the SIT investigation into the alleged voter theft gained momentum.
The facility was run by four suspects—Akram, Ashfaque, Nadeem and Mushtaq.
“Of the four accused, one is an online political surveyor/ manipulator, one a data operator and two others are well versed in filing online applications and providing logical support,” sources said.
