West Bengal / Photo of dog printed on voter card, victim will file a defamation case on Election Commission

Kolkata. In West Bengal, a person’s voter ID card was replaced with a dog’s photo instead of his photo. The person has decided to file a defamation suit against the Election Commission of India.

64-year-old Sunil Karmakar, a resident of Ramnagar village in Murshidabad district, said, “My identity card had come in a few days ago. But there were some mistakes in that, which I applied for improvement. When a new card arrived on Tuesday, a picture of the dog was found instead of my photo in it.

I was insulted

Sunil alleged that the mistake had been made intentionally on the new ID card, so as to humiliate me. Because, people who saw ID cards made fun of me. That is why I have decided to drag the Election Commission to the court.

Did not know how the photo was improved

Rajarshi Chakraborty, an officer involved in correcting voter ID card errors, said – the photo was noticed while correcting the mistake, which was later corrected as well. Then there is no information on how the photo of the dog appeared. However, they will be given a new voter card in the coming days.
