Khargone: Over 300 voter ID cards reportedly belonging to residents of Indore were found in the Narmada river at Mandleshwar in Khargone district on Sunday.Mandleshwar SDOP Shweta Shukla told TOI that the cards were spotted by members of Niswaarth Samajik Seva Samiti, an Indore-based social service organisation, during a voluntary cleaning drive at the ghats. “A revenue team later reached the spot on the instructions of SDM, prepared a panchnama and seized the cards,” she said.Mandleshwar police station in-charge Pankaj Tiwari said that 343 cards were recovered. “They reportedly bear addresses of Indore localities like Astha Palace, Shraddha Puri and Akash Nagar under Assembly Constituency 207, among other places,” he said.District Congress president Ravi Naik questioned how so many voter ID cards could be found in one place and alleged that people associated with the election machinery may be involved. He demanded a detailed inquiry into how the cards reached Mandleshwar.“A complaint submitted by Congress has been forwarded to Mandleshwar police station in-charge for inquiry,” the SDOP said.Madhya Pradesh Congress also raised the issue on X, asking how cards reportedly belonging to the Indore area reached Mandleshwar. The party accused the BJP of involvement in alleged ‘vote chori’ and asked whether Election Commission would order an impartial investigation.
