343 Voter ID Cards With Indore Addresses Found On Narmada Bank At Mandleshwar

343 voter ID cards with Indore addresses were discovered along the Narmada riverbank at Mandleshwar on Sunday, leading to a protest by Congress workers and demands for a thorough investigation. The Niswarth Seva Group from Indore recovered the cards during a Narmada cleanliness drive. A report by the administration listed 343 cards, all bearing Tilak Nagar addresses, including Aastha Palace, Akash Nagar, and Shraddhapuri in Indore.

Officials are currently probing the origins of the cards, which arrived at Mandleshwar, located approximately 90 km from Indore. The city Congress leaders, including Ravi Naik, Maheshwar block Congress president Sabel Singh Patel, and city Congress president Santosh Chauhan, along with other workers, presented the cards to the Mandleshwar police station, demanding an FIR against Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar.

They held a sit-in at the police station gate, asserting that the discovery suggested vote fraud and called for an impartial probe into how the documents ended up on the riverbank. The spot panchnama was prepared under tehsildar Kailash Sastya's instructions, and the seized cards were handed over to the revenue team. The police station in-charge, Pankaj Tiwari, stated that Congress representatives had filed an application, and further legal action would hinge on the findings of the investigation. The Congress protest concluded once the application was submitted.
