  "account": "In Pune, India, on November 15, 2026, election officials submitted a police complaint claiming that 40 voters were relocated from the Bhosari assembly constituency using fraudulent online Form 8 applications. The applications were allegedly submitted using four different mobile numbers without the voters' consent, as reported by PTI. The matter was reported to the police, who registered a non-cognizable offence against unidentified individuals. The 40 affected voters' names were subsequently reinstated to the constituency's electoral roll. This incident stems from a broader allegation by NCP (SP) leader Ajit Gavhane, who claimed that approximately 15,000 voters, primarily Muslim, were fraudulently removed or transferred from the electoral roll. However, these broader claims have not been substantiated by the authorities' complaint.",
