EC issues detailed fact-check, rejects claims of vote discrepancies in multiple constituencies
Digital Desk | New Delhi, Nov 11 (IANS) The Election Commission of India (ECI) on Wednesday released a series of constituency-specific fact-checks to counter social media claims, alleging large-scale mismatches between votes polled and votes counted in the 2024 Lok Sabha and state Assembly elections. The Commission has labelled these claims as 'misleading' and has placed official figures from its Index Cards and Statistical Reports in the public domain to clarify the actual position. The claims, which circulated widely online, primarily focused on seats in Maharashtra, Haryana and Jammu and Kashmir. In several cases, the social media posts either treated the total number of registered electors as the number of votes polled or misinterpreted other official numbers, creating an artificial gap that does not exist in the records. One of the most widely shared claims about Mumbai North Parliamentary constituency (Maharashtra) said that 18.11 lakh votes were polled but only 10.33 lakh were counted, implying that 7.78 lakh votes remained uncounted. Official records show that the constituency had 18,12,115 total electors. Of these, 10,36,496 electors actually voted (10,33,268 on EVMs and 3,228 postal votes). After accounting for 765 test votes and votes not counted from Control Units (CUs) as per ECI guidelines, 10,35,731 votes were counted. Voter turnout stood at 57.20 per cent. The gap of around 7.75 lakh represents registered electors who did not turn up to vote, not uncounted votes. Claims suggested that 6,66,046 votes were polled in Srinagar Parliamentary constituency (Jammu and Kashmir) but 6,72,942 were counted, creating an excess of 6,896 votes. Official data records 17,48,803 total electors and 6,76,408 votes polled (6,72,942 EVM + 3,466 postal). After deducting 1,009 test votes and votes not counted from CUs, the total votes counted stood at 6,75,399 while the voter turnout was 38.68 per cent. The Commission confirmed that no extra votes were counted. Social media posts claimed that 3.84 lakh votes were polled in Beed Assembly constituency (Maharashtra) but only 2.39 lakh were counted, leaving 1.45 lakh (37.8 per cent) uncounted. Records show 3,84,885 total electors and 2,42,983 votes polled (2,38,845 EVM + 4,138 postal). The same number2,42,983was counted. Turnout was 63.13 per cent. The difference of about 1.42 lakh is the number of electors who did not vote. Similar claims said that 3.01 lakh votes were polled in Dahanu Assembly constituency (Maharashtra) but only 2.21 lakh were counted. Official figures list 3,01,257 electors and 2,21,818 votes polled and counted. Turnout was 73.63 per cent. The gap of around 79,000 represents non-voters. Claims also alleged that 2.21 lakh votes were polled in Tosham Assembly constituency (Haryana) but only 1.60 lakh were counted. Records show 2,23,609 electors, 1,61,872 votes polled and 1,61,020 votes counted after minor adjustments for test votes. Turnout was 72.39 per cent. The difference is again the number of electors who stayed away. One claim asserted that only 215 citizens voted in Kaithal Assembly constituency (Haryana) yet the ECI counted 1,67,285 votes. The Commission clarified that 215 is the number of polling stations in the constituency, not the number of voters. Actual figures show 2,23,449 electors and 1,68,851 votes polled and counted, with a voter turnout of 75.57 per cent. In Chenani, Kokernag and Pulwama Assembly constituencies (Jammu and Kashmir), claims of the ECI having counted extra votes (ranging from 1,500 to 1,800) were also rejected. Official data for Chenani shows 85,189 votes polled and counted; for Kokernag, 57,542 votes polled and counted; and for Pulwama, 51,011 votes polled with 50,529 counted after standard deductions. In each case, the Commission said that no extra votes were counted. Across all these constituencies, the ECI has underlined a consistent pattern: the figures being projected as votes polled but not counted are either the total number of registered electors or other administrative numbers (such as the count of polling stations). The actual votes polled and votes counted, as recorded in Form 17C and reflected in the Index Cards, match closely after accounting for postal ballots, test votes and votes not retrieved from Control Units as per prescribed guidelines. The Commission has reiterated that Form 17C remains the sole statutory record of votes cast at each polling station. Part-I of the form is shared with polling agents at the close of poll, and the figures are matched with Part-II on counting day in the presence of candidates' agents. All relevant data continues to be available on the ECI website under Statistical Reports and Index Cards. The ECI has maintained that the official records leave no scope for the kind of large-scale discrepancies being alleged.

Anushka Sharma, Minnu Mani Named Captains For India A Womens Series Against England A
Maharashtra Cricket Association Stadium: Anushka Sharma will captain India A in the T20 and one-day legs of the upcoming all-format home series against England A, while Minnu Mani has been handed the leadership of the multi-day side, said the BCCI on Wednesday. As per the squads selected by the womens selection committee, Minnu will also serve as Anushkas deputy in the white-ball formats, while Tejal Hasabnis has been named vice-captain for the multi-day fixture. The series features three T20s, three one-day matches and a multi-day game. Punes Maharashtra Cricket Association Stadium will host the T20s from November 30 to December 5, with the action then moving to Mumbais Wankhede Stadium for the one-dayers and the multi-day contest from December 8 to 19. Off-spinner Shreyanka Patil and pacer Saima Thakor feature in all three squads, while all-rounders Kashvee Gautam (ODI and T20I series) and Amanjot Kaur (only T20s), along with young wicketkeeper-batter G Kamalini, have also been included. Amanjot, who has been included in the India squad for the T20I series against South Africa in December, will get more game time to be ready for her return to international action. Meanwhile, Kashvee recently returned to action via the Senior Womens T20 Trophy after recovering from a right knee injury. Batters Tanisha Singh and Sanika Chalke, along with all-rounder Prema Rawat and pacer Monica Patel, are included in the India A T20 squad. The one-day squad sees wicketkeeper-batter Shipra Giri and left-arm spinner Amisha Bahukandi join in as well. The multi-day side has also undergone a considerable overhaul, with Amisha, Shipra, batters Shubha Satheesh and Purvaja Verlekar, and pacers Henreitta Perera and Happy Kumari as the new faces. The series gives both teams a quick chance at a rematch. When India A toured England in June-July this year, the honours were evenly split between the two white-ball formats. India A won the three-match unofficial one-day series 2-1, while England A took the T20 series by the same margin. India A squad for T20s: Vrinda Dinesh, Tanisha Singh, Sanika Chalke, Anushka Sharma (C), Niki Prasad, G Kamalini (WK), Shipra Giri (WK), Minnu Mani (VC), Amanjot Kaur, Shreyanka Patil, Vaishnavi Sharma, Prema Rawat, Saima Thakor, Monica Patel, Kashvee Gautam India A squad for one-day matches: Vrinda Dinesh, Tanisha Singh, Priya Punia, Anushka Sharma (C), Niki Prasad, G Kamalini (WK), Shipra Giri (WK), Minnu Mani (VC), Tejal Hasabnis, Shreyanka Patil, Amisha Bahukandi, Shabnam Shakil, Saima Thakor, Akshita Bhagat, Kashvee Gautam India A squad for the multi-day match: Shubha Satheesh, Priya Punia, Tanisha Singh, Purvaja Verlekar, Henreitta Perera, Tejal Hasabnis (VC), Shipra Giri (WK), Uma Chetry (WK), Minnu Mani (C), Shreyanka Patil, Saima Thakor, Akshita Bhagat, Amisha Bahukandi, Happy Kumari, Shabnam Shakil Also Read: Special Cricket Stories Article Source: IANS

Man opens fire on father, brother over property dispute in Maha's Thane, injures both seriously
Digital Desk | Thane, Nov 11 (IANS) A man allegedly opened fire on his father and brother following a property dispute in Gurvali village of Kalyan taluka in Maharashtra's Thane district, seriously injuring both, police said. The accused, identified as Kalpesh Shelar, allegedly fired at his father, Balaram Shelar, and brother, Bharat Shelar. According to reports, Balaram sustained a gunshot injury to his stomach, while Bharat was shot in the shoulder. Both were rushed to a private hospital for immediate medical attention and are currently undergoing treatment. Their condition is stated to be serious. Following information about the incident, police took prompt action and arrested Kalpesh Shelar. The Titwala police have registered a case and initiated an investigation to ascertain the circumstances surrounding the firing. The incident has caused a stir in Gurvali village and adjoining areas, with the alleged involvement of a son in an attack on his own father and brother over a property dispute triggering shock among local residents. In a similar incident reported earlier, on October 19, a 25-year-old man was arrested from Gujarat's Bharuch for allegedly murdering his 59-year-old father following a dispute over money to purchase a car in Maharashtra's Palghar district. The accused, identified as Mukesh Parmar, allegedly slit his father Mohanlal Parmar's throat with a grinder during an argument over money. The father and son were living together, while Mohanlal's wife was away at their native village. After committing the murder, Mukesh fled the scene. When relatives failed to contact Mohanlal over the phone, they sent an acquaintance to check on him. The person discovered his body and alerted the Palghar police. Earlier in June, another shocking incident was reported from Maharashtra's Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar, where a man allegedly stabbed his 82-year-old father to death after losing a property dispute case against him in court. The victim, Jafar Qamaruddin Sayyed Patel, had fought a two-year legal battle to evict his son, Abdul Rehman Abdul Jafar, from his house over alleged abusive behaviour. Jafar Patel, a retired Water Resources Department employee, had reportedly faced repeated quarrels and alleged assaults by his son, who works as a medical representative.
