Karnataka High Court Stays FIRs Against BJP Booth Agents Over Voter Deletion Forms
The Karnataka High Court has stayed two FIRs against BJP booth-level agents accused of filing bulk Form 7 applications to delete voters' names during the Special Intensive Revision in Bengaluru's Malleshwaram. The court questioned the initiation of criminal proceedings before electoral authorities reviewed the applications. Petitioners argued that alleged irregularities should be addressed through electoral processes, not police investigations. The next hearing is scheduled for October 27.
