Kalaburagi, Oct 24: A Special Investigation Team (SIT) probing the sensational “voter theft” scandal in Aland Assembly constituency has unearthed a large-scale operation to strike off thousands of genuine voters from the rolls ahead of the 2023 Karnataka Assembly elections.

Investigators have revealed that each voter deletion was allegedly carried out for a mere Rs 80 per name, with applications filed to remove 6,994 voters in total. Of these, only a handful were legitimate cases — such as duplicates or deceased persons — while nearly 6,000 were genuine registered voters, predominantly Dalits, minorities and Congress supporters, according to senior CID sources.

At least six prime suspects connected to a Kalaburagi data centre have been identified.
