The Museum police in Thiruvananthapuram have registered a case based on a Left youth organisation’s complaint that “dubious electors” had used bogus Election Commission of India (ECI) voter ID cards as “feigned” digital proof of identity to possibly rig the online Youth Congress (YC) elections in Kerala and tilt the playing field to advantage a particular faction.
An estimated 7.5 lakh persons participated in the YC elections that saw the elevation of YC leader Rahul Mamkootathil as State president-designate.
The first information report (FIR) identified the complainant as the State secretary of the Democratic Youth Federation of India (DYFI).
