Three Afghan Nationals Found on Jharkhand Voter List, Election Commission Orders Probe
During Jharkhand's Special Intensive Revision of electoral rolls, three Afghan nationals—Asil Khan, Mohammad Aslam, and Mohammad Ibrahim—were found listed in the Jamshedpur East Assembly constituency. Their names appeared in the draft voter list after enumeration but were removed following document verification that revealed their foreign citizenship. The Election Commission has ordered a detailed investigation to determine how their names were included and whether others were involved. Legal action will be taken against those responsible, with local authorities leading the probe.
