In Delhi, BJP booth agents file deletion forms against Muslim voters living at their addresses
BJP BLAs submit nearly 68% of Form 7s seeking deletions as ‘objector’ in Mustafabad, all against Muslim electors citing ‘absent/permanently shifted’ or ‘death’
Sajid Hussain, a tailor who has resided in the Dayalpur neighborhood of northeast Delhi's Mustafabad for over two decades, was stunned to discover on October 28, 2026, that deletion applications had been filed to remove his son's and wife's names from the electoral roll during the claims and objections period of special intensive revision (SIR).
The tailor expressed his surprise at not knowing the identity of the individual responsible for submitting the Form 7s. Asad Raza Zaidi and Afsana Khatoon were among the 28 voters in the area whose names were targeted for deletion, citing reasons such as 'absent/permanently shifted' or 'death'. According to the Election Commission of India (ECI) records, all the deletion applications were filed by Chandra Shekhar Nainwal, a Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP)-appointed booth-level agent-2 (BLA-2).
