  "summary": "An FIR has been registered against BJP Booth Level Agent S Balachander in Telangana for allegedly filing false Form-7 applications seeking the deletion of 30 voters from the electoral rolls during Special Intensive Revision (SIR). This is the first such FIR registered in the state, according to the Times of India. The case was registered at Chikkadapally Police Station following a complaint by an election official. Police have invoked provisions of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS) and the Representation of the People Act to investigate the matter. The Congress party had earlier approached the Chief Electoral Officer and Hyderabad Police Commissioner, alleging that Balachander had submitted Form-7 applications to unlawfully remove genuine voters from the electoral rolls. The BJP has rejected these allegations.",
