Three Afghan Nationals Found on Jharkhand Voter List During Electoral Roll Revision
During Jharkhand's ongoing Special Intensive Revision of electoral rolls, three Afghan nationals—Asil Khan, Mohammad Aslam, and Mohammad Ibrahim—were found listed as voters in Jamshedpur East. Despite completing enumeration, discrepancies in their documents led to verification revealing their foreign citizenship. The Election Commission has removed their names and ordered a detailed probe into how they were included, with potential criminal action under consideration. The BJP questioned the verification process, while officials confirmed the investigation is ongoing.
