Overview

  • The show-cause notice says Khera is enrolled in both the New Delhi and Jangpura assembly constituencies and warns that dual registration is a penal offence under the 1950 law.
  • New Delhi’s District Election Office posted the notice on X and directed Khera to respond by 11 am on September 8 or face possible action.
  • BJP IT cell chief Amit Malviya earlier publicized two EPIC numbers he attributed to Khera and urged a probe, triggering the formal step by poll authorities.
  • Khera denied wrongdoing, said he moved out of the New Delhi constituency in 2016 and sought deletion then, and demanded CCTV footage to check if votes were cast in his name.
  • Delhi BJP leaders called for legal and party disciplinary action, as the episode feeds a wider fight over voter-roll integrity and opposition demands for machine-readable lists and polling CCTV.
