'125-yr-old' Bihar voter sparks row
The New Indian Express Mysuru
|August 13, 2025
MINTA Devi, a resident of Bihar's Siwan district, was thrilled to receive her Elector Photo Identity Card (EPIC) last month, allowing her to vote for the first time.
MINTA Devi, a resident of Bihar's Siwan district, was thrilled to receive her Elector Photo Identity Card (EPIC) last month, allowing her to vote for the first time. However, her excitement turned to dismay when she noticed her voter ID listed her birth year as 1900—making her 125 years old—instead of the correct 1990 as per her Aadhaar card.
The discrepancy came to light after Opposition leaders, including Congress' Priyanka Gandhi Vadra, highlighted the case during protests against Bihar's electoral roll revision. Some even wore T-shirts featuring Minta's photo with the slogan "At 124 and not out."
