Responding to allegations made by Leader of Opposition Rahul Gandhi over vote fraud in Aland Assembly constituency in 2023 and the probe into the case being “blocked” by the Election Commission of India (ECI) by not sharing key technical data to the Criminal Investigation Department (CID), Karnataka, Chief Electoral Officer (CEO) of Karnataka has claimed that his office, based on the instructions of ECI, has “handed over all the available information with the ECI to the Superintendent of Police, Kalaburagi district, on September 6, 2023, for completing the investigation”.
While that CID has been asking for “destination IPs and destination ports” of the sessions through which forged Form 7 applications were made, the CEO, in a press release on Thursday, said that it has provided “objector’s details, including form reference number, name of the objector, his EPIC number of mobile number used for log-in and mobile number provided by the objector for processing, software application medium, IP address, applicant place, form submission date and time, and user creation date”.
