Rahul Gandhi Detained During Protest Over Voter-List Fraud Allegations

The Election Commission has requested supporting documents for alleged anomalies after police halted the march during which Gandhi was detained.

Overview

  • Opposition MPs attempted to march from Parliament to the Election Commission in Delhi to demand answers on alleged voter-list manipulation but were stopped by police.
  • Congress leaders have highlighted specific anomalies in the voter rolls, citing a 124-year-old first-time voter, a man who allegedly cast ballots in three states and an apartment with 80 registered voters.
  • Gandhi claimed that 100,250 votes were stolen in Bengaluru’s Mahadevapura constituency and called the evidence “the truth of electoral fraud.”
  • The Election Commission has asked opponents to submit documentary proof for their allegations without launching a formal investigation.
  • The BJP dismissed the fraud claims as destabilizing tactics and opposition leaders are pressing for an independent probe to uphold electoral integrity.
