Name of former Air Force chief Pradeep Vasant Naik’s wife was missing from the list

Allegations of bogus voting have emerged in Pune during the fourth phase of the Lok Sabh elections held on Monday. It has been claimed that the fake voting has been done under the name of Congress' city chief Arvind Shinde.

"I went to Saint Meera school for voting, but my name was already ticked off on the list, and I was told that voting was already done in my name. Someone had signed next to my name. I have challenged it and submitted my tender vote. I have also lodged a complaint online," he said.
