The Karnataka government on Saturday constituted a Special Investigation Team (SIT) to investigate allegations of large-scale deletion of voters from electoral rolls in Kalaburagi district's Aland constituency during the 2023 assembly polls.
The move follows Congress leader Rahul Gandhi's claims that a significant number of voters were removed in Aland segment during the 2023 elections and that Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar was protecting the "vote chors." The SIT will be headed by Additional Director General of Police (CID), who will be assisted by two Superintendent of Police rank officers Saidulu Adavath and Shubhanwita.
