Poll Body Terms Voter Card Shown By Tejashwi Yadav ‘Fake’, Asks Him To Submit It By August 16

The Election Commission of India (ECI) on Friday claimed that the Electoral Photo Identity Card (EPIC) shown by Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) leader Tejashwi Yadav to the media during the press conference was “apparently fake" and served a notice to him to submit the voter card by August 16.

A fresh letter was issued to the Leader of the Opposition in the Bihar assembly by the Sub-Divisional Magistrate Patna (Sadar) cum Electoral Registration Officer (ERO) for Digha assembly constituency in this regard.

In the notice, the ERO said that a perusal of the voters list for the past several years has led to the conclusion that the EC had never issued the voter card with the EPIC number quoted by Yadav.
