Kolkata, Dec 23 || Three India-Bangladesh bordering districts of West Bengal, namely Murshidabad, South 24 Parganas, and North 24 Parganas, have recorded the maximum number of doubtful voters whose weird family tree data have been detected in 'progeny mapping' during the ongoing Special Intensive Revision (SIR).
Insiders from the office of the Chief Electoral Officer (CEO), West Bengal, stated that of the 1.36 crore doubtful cases detected in progeny mapping, the highest number -- at around 4.08 lakh -- has been recorded in the minority-dominated and India-Bangladesh bordering Murshidabad district.
Next comes yet another India-Bangladesh bordering district of South 24 Parganas, where the number of such doubtful cases has been recorded at 3.78 lakh. The third is the South 24 Parganas district, also having international borders with Bangladesh, where the figure of such doubtful voters had been recorded at little over two lakh.
The progeny mapping voters are those who did not have their own names but their parents’ names in the voters’ list of 2002, the last time when SIR was conducted in West Bengal.
