Bhagat Singh Photo Error in Ludhiana Electoral Rolls Prompts Inquiry and Corrections
A photograph resembling freedom fighter Bhagat Singh was mistakenly included in Punjab's Ludhiana East electoral rolls, prompting Congress leaders Sanjay Talwar and Amarinder Singh Raja Warring to call for an inquiry and wider scrutiny of voter lists. Authorities clarified the error was detected during a revision process and corrected before the final roll's publication on October 12. The incident has renewed attention on electoral roll accuracy amid broader allegations of irregularities by Rahul Gandhi in Haryana and controversies involving Punjab BJP leaders.
