UP CEO Rejects Voter Deletion Forms with Forged Signatures; BLO Booked for Negligence
The Uttar Pradesh Chief Electoral Officer's office rejected Form-7 applications aimed at removing 26 voters from the electoral roll, which contained multiple forged signatures of 'Nand Lal.' These incomplete forms lacked key details and were not acted upon by the Booth Level Officer (BLO), who was later relieved of election duties due to negligence. A case has been registered against the BLO at Gosaiganj police station following complaints by the Samajwadi Party alleging a conspiracy to manipulate voter lists in Sultanpur's Sadar assembly constituency.
