Patna: A day after Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) leader Tejashwi Yadav claimed that his name was missing from the draft electoral roll published by the Election Commission of India (ECI) as part of its Special Intensive Revision (SIR) drive, the poll body has issued a notice to the former Bihar deputy chief minister, seeking an explanation over the EPIC card number he mentioned during a press conference on Saturday.
In a letter to Tejashwi, the poll body said he mentioned his EPIC number as RAB2916120, but his name was mentioned at serial number 416 of polling station number 204 whose EPIC number is RAB0456228, asking him to provide details about his EPIC number mentioned by him on August 2 press conference.
“Our preliminary investigation suggests that the EPIC number you mentioned at the press conference on August 2 was not issued officially. You are therefore requested to hand over the EPIC card in original for detailed investigation,” Sub Divisional Magistrate of Patna Sadar-cum-Electoral Registration Officer for Digha assembly constituency said.
