A Common Service Centre worker named Mohammad Salim was also involved in creating these fake certificates. While visiting the Santhal Pargana region, the official confirmed that caste certificates were given out against the rules. He has told district election officers to check all documents carefully to keep the ongoing voter list review accurate.

Election Commission has moved the last date for claims and objections to September 15. The final voter list is now set for October 19. Officials are checking complaints in Sahibganj, Godda, Dumka, and Deoghar to make sure the records are right.

Jharkhand Chief Electoral Officer K Ravi Kumar stated that no voter will be removed from the list without a hearing. This follows a decision to send notices to more than 63 lakh voters flagged for errors during the Special Intensive Revision in areas such as Torpa, Tamar, and Deoghar.

If your name is on that list, look out for a notice. You have one week to show your documents to the Assistant Electoral Registration Officer. Officials will check the facts before making any final decision. This process should finish by October 3.
