It
happens
only
in
India,
folks!
Sunny
Leone
is
a
voter
in
Ballia
but
goes
by
the
name
of
Durgawati,
if
the
voters'
list
that
was
being
prepared
for
the
2019
Lok
Sabha
elections
is
to
be
believed.
An
elephant,
a
pigeon
and
a
deer
were
also
on
the
list.
The
errors
were
detected
and
set
right
during
the
process
of
verification
of
the
list,
an
official
said
today,
blaming
a
disgruntled
data
operator.
The
Times
of
India
quoted
a
senior
district
official
as
saying,
"While
the
list
carries
the
picture
of
a
scantily
clad
woman
resembling
Sunny
Leone
in
place
of
voter
Durgawati
Singh
of
Vivekanand
Colony,
it
carries
photograph
of
an
elephant
against
the
name
of
former
cabinet
minister
Narad
Rai
and
picture
of
a
deer
in
place
of
Kunwar
Ankur
Singh." The
investigation
is
ongoing
if
the
errors
were
made
on
purpose
or
by
mistake.
Actor
Sunny
Leone's
picture
was
pasted
against
the
name
of
voter
Durgawati
and
another
voter
named
Kunwar
Ankur
Singh
was
represented
by
a
deer
and
Kunwar
Gaurav
Singh
looked
exactly
like
a
pigeon,
according
to
the
list.
Another
victim
was
Narad
Rai,
a
former
minister
in
the
Mulayam
Singh
Yadav
and
Akhilesh
Yadav
governments
in
Uttar
Pradesh.
He
had
a
picture
of
an
elephant
pasted
besides
his
name
in
the
updated
voters'
list.
District
officials
blamed
a
data
operator
for
the
mischief
and
have
recommended
his
dismissal.
"A
data
operator
on
contract,
Vishnu
Verma,
was
sore
over
his
transfer
and
indulged
in
this," Additional
District
Magistrate
Mukul
Kumar
Singhal
told
PTI.
"Out
of
mischief,
he
pasted
such
pictures
against
the
names
of
seven
voters,"
the
ADM
said.
He
added
that
the
Election
Commission
was
informed
and
the
errors
were
corrected.
The
mischief
was
discovered
during
the
verification
of
the
list,
he
said.
Ballia
Superintendent
of
Police
Sriparna
Ganguly
said
an
FIR
has
been
lodged
against
the
data
operator
at
Ballia
Kotwali
police
station.
