Thousands of original Special Intensive Revision (SIR) voter forms were found at a photocopy shop in Navi Mumbai's Kharghar area, leading to a clash between Shiv Sena (UBT) and BJP activists. Five Booth Level Officers were suspended, and a BJP youth wing worker was booked for unauthorized possession and photocopying of these forms. The incident has raised concerns about the transparency and security of the voter list revision process, prompting police investigations and calls for strict inquiry from local leaders.
