IndusInd Bank MD and CEO says his name unmapped from electoral roll

IndusInd Bank MD & CEO Rajiv Anand has said his name has been “unmapped” from the electoral roll and he has been asked to appear for a hearing to avoid deletion from the voter list. 

“I have been told my name is “unmapped” from the voting list. I have voted in every election ever since I have been eligible to vote. I hold a passport, PAN Card, voter ID card and Aadhaar card. I am now being asked to appear for a hearing, else my name will be deleted. Why should I?” Anand said in a X post on Sunday.

“Indians have so many certificates to prove who they are. Aadhaar card. PAN Card. Voter ID. Passport. You would think there is an identity crisis!”, he said in another post.

Amid the ongoing Special Intensive Revision (SIR) exercise, the Election Commission last week announced a slew of decisions for the ease of voters who have been issued notices, including doorstep collection of documents and extending deadlines in Delhi and Maharashtra.

The period for filing claims and objections has been extended till October 30 for Delhi voters, while for Maharashtra it has been extended till October 12.
