Student suicide case: Rahul Gandhi speaks to IIT-B student’s parents, assures help

Congress leader Priyanka Gandhi Vadra has accused Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar of potential treason for allegedly tampering with electoral rolls and deleting voters' names. This allegation follows a report in The Indian Express alleging that Election Commissioners Sukhbir Singh Sandhu and Vivek Joshi had raised formal objections at least 14 times over ten months to decisions related to the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls.

Gandhi stated that anyone interfering with the democratic electoral process commits treason against the nation, and any illegal acts, such as deleting 13 crore voters, are criminal offenses against democracy and the Constitution. She called for Gyanesh Kumar's criminal prosecution and trial for treason, likening his actions to an attack on democracy.
