New Delhi, Sep 24: Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Wednesday claimed that the EC has put a lock on “vote theft” only after he raised the matter, and asked Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar when he would provide evidence to the Karnataka CID on the “deletion” of votes in Aland.

The Leader of Opposition in the Lok Sabha was referring to media reports that the EC has rolled out a new ‘e-sign’ feature that requires Aadhar-based verification for addition or deletion of votes.

“Gyanesh ji, we caught the theft and only then did you remember to put a lock – now we’ll catch the thieves too.

“So tell us, when are you going to give the evidence to CID?” Gandhi asked in a post on X.

Gandhi had earlier claimed that several votes were sought to be cancelled in the Aland assembly constituency
