The office of the Telangana Chief Electoral Officer has sought an explanation from the booth-level officer on the deletion of the name of Apollo Group’s Shobana Kamineni from the electoral roll.
Initial inquires by officials revealed that Ms. Kamineni had two EPICs in the polling station number 49 of the Nampally Assembly constituency. Election officials noticed this as part of summary revision of electoral rolls. Though one of the entries was supposed to be deleted as part of the de-duplication process, both had been deleted, according to sources.
Senior officials have accordingly sought an explanation from the official concerned so that necessary remedial action could be initiated.
