Congress Worker Files FIR Alleging Voter Roll Manipulation
Bengaluru police have registered a First Information Report (FIR) concerning alleged bogus voters in the Mahadevapura assembly constituency. The complaint was filed by Y Vinoda, a worker for the Marathahalli Block Congress and resident of Nallurhalli, on 23 November 2025.
Details of the Electoral Fraud Allegations
According to the FIR, unidentified officials and political workers colluded to manipulate the electoral rolls through fraudulent means. The complaint specifically alleges the insertion of duplicate and fake voter names into the official records.
Vinoda, who works closely with the local Congress party apparatus, brought these serious allegations to light. The police have now launched a formal investigation into what appears to be a case of systematic electoral fraud targeting the Mahadevapura constituency.
Police Investigation and Electoral Implications
Law enforcement authorities have begun probing the matter to identify the individuals responsible for the alleged voter roll manipulation. The case raises significant concerns about the integrity of the electoral process in this important Bengaluru constituency.
The timing of the complaint, filed in late November 2025, suggests ongoing concerns about electoral malpractices that could potentially influence election outcomes. The Election Commission officials are expected to cooperate with the police investigation to ensure the voter lists are cleansed of any fraudulent entries.
This development comes amid increasing scrutiny of electoral processes across Karnataka, with political parties and civil society groups demanding greater transparency in voter registration systems.
