An election official has been suspended after allegations of supporting ‘double voting’ in Kasaragod constituency in Kerala.
M. Ravi, a booth level officer (BLO) at Cheemeni, faced suspension on April 23 following a complaint implicating him in discrepencies in voters’ list. The action was initiated by District Collector K. Inbasekar after an investigation prompted by a complaint lodged with the Collector’s office.
The complaint, supported by audio evidence, alleged that Mr. Ravi was “complicit in fraudulent voting practices.” The audio clip reportedly caught Mr. Ravi dismissing concerns about double voting, stating it was “inconsequential” and even suggesting that “the Left should receive two votes.”
