Meanwhile, Rajasthan on Saturday completed 100% digitisation of its electoral roll under SIR, becoming the first state to do so, CEO Navin Mahajan said.

Rampur police have booked a woman for allegedly providing false information about her two sons, who have been living abroad for an extended period, in the voter enumeration forms for the SIR of electoral rolls.

According to police, Noor Jahan signed the official documents on her sons’ behalf despite their absence from the country. Along with her, police have also booked her sons, Amir Khan and Danish Khan, for their alleged involvement in submitting misleading details.

“They have been booked under BNS sections 237 (using as true such declaration knowing it to be false), 318 (2) (cheating), and The Representation of the People Acts at the Civil Lines police station. No one has been arrested in the case so far,” Circle Officer, Rampur, Jitendra Kumar said.

Police said a complaint was filed by Dinesh Kumar, a supervisor for SIR. Kumar said that during a field inspection, it was found Amir and Danish had not been living at their registered address for a long time and were, in fact, residing in Kuwait and other countries.
