  "account": "All India Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen leader Asaduddin Owaisi accused BJP supporters of submitting 122 pre-filled Form 7 applications to delete Muslim voters' names in Goshamahal Assembly constituency, a part of Hyderabad's Lok Sabha seat. Owaisi alleged that the forms were \"pre-printed\" and targeted minority community members, citing the case of Mirza Farooq Baig, an octogenarian whose name was also removed. He expressed concern about the misuse of Form 7, which allows electors to request removal of their names from electoral rolls. Owaisi demanded an inquiry and action against the individual responsible for submitting the forms, Janardhan, who he described as a BJP supporter or sympathiser. He urged the Election Commission to investigate the source of the pre-printed forms and the individuals behind their submission.",
