First Case Registered In Rampur For Providing False Info In SIR Form

Lucknow: The Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls is being carried out across Uttar Pradesh with strict adherence to the Election Commission of India (ECI) guidelines. Even as the exercise is going on, the first case of concealing facts and furnishing false information in an SIR form has been reported from Rampur district.

The incident surfaced when a woman allegedly submitted enumeration forms on behalf of her two sons — Aamir and Danish — who have been living abroad in Dubai and Kuwait for several years.

She also forged their signatures on the enumeration forms. The fraud was detected during the digitisation of the submitted forms by the Booth Level Officer (BLO).

Following the discovery, Rampur District Magistrate Ajay Kumar Dwivedi directed that an FIR be registered
