Ranchi: Taking note of reports about manipulation of age-related documents during voter ID registration, Chief Electoral Officer K. Ravi Kumar has directed all electoral registration officers to take legal action against those involved, including individuals, Pragya Kendras, and cyber cafés.
In an official communication, the CEO stated that while Form 6 and Form 8 are being processed as per established procedures, instances have surfaced where certain applicants and service centres are allegedly altering age details in official documents to obtain additional government benefits. These tampered records are then uploaded as supporting documents for voter ID applications.
Ravi Kumar instructed that any such suspicious cases detected during verification should be immediately investigated and that those found responsible face strict legal consequences.
