India Intensifies Actions on Voter Rolls, Corporate Raids and Migrant Settlements

Authorities say the crackdown will reinforce administrative controls across multiple sectors.

Overview

  • The Special Intensive Revision process in Seemanchal has left many women without documentation, raising citizenship concerns and prompting RJD leader Tejashwi Yadav to threaten an election boycott.
  • Authorities arrested Harsh Vardhan Jain for operating fake embassies in Ghaziabad and detained Mohammad Qasim for impersonating a priest in Meerut; both cases are part of an expanded fraud crackdown.
  • MP Ravi Kishan accused CM Yogi Adityanath of targeting him with bulldozer warnings; Gurugram police locked homes of undocumented migrants, driving about 1,000 residents to leave.
  • Enforcement Directorate raids on over three dozen locations linked to Anil Ambani triggered a fresh 5% lower circuit on Reliance Power shares as the money-laundering probe expanded.
  • The ICC indicated it may allow substitute players to bat and bowl for seriously injured teammates after Rishabh Pant’s thumb injury at Manchester.
