The Jubilee Hills Vote Chori: 251 voters enrolled from same address!

BRS flagged massive voter roll irregularities in Jubilee Hills ahead of bypoll. Field verification revealed thousands of duplicate, fake, and cross-constituency entries, including hundreds of multiple registrations at single addresses. The party demanded immediate investigation and corrective action

Hyderabad: Massive irregularities were discovered in the voter rolls in Jubilee Hills Assembly constituency ahead of the bypoll. The main opposition BRS conducted a field-level verification which indicated that thousands of duplicate, invalid and fake entries have been systematically added across multiple polling booths.

According to the findings, dozens of small residential addresses have been used to register abnormally high number of voters. More than 30 voters each were enrolled in 287 addresses. The total list of voters was a staggering 12,045.

For instance, a whopping 251 voters were enrolled from the same address i.e., House No. 8-3-237 under Booth no. 268 in the constituency. Similarly, House No. 8-4-369 under Booth no. 349 reportedly listed 249 voters, while House No. 8-4-369/211/65 under Booth no. 336 showed 132 voters. Several similar cases appear throughout the rolls, with many flats, small houses and even commercial addresses showing more than 30 voters each.

The field verification further exposed hundreds of duplicate entries, where the same individual is registered across multiple booths. In many instances, voters appear with slightly altered spellings or different EPIC numbers, making detection difficult through regular verification. For example, one voter named Mohammed Jameel appears under Booth No. 169 and 194, both with matching parent and address details. In another case, 21 votes were registered with the name ‘Mother’ or ‘Mother B/K/R’ having the same name as parent.

Numerous instances of duplication of voters were also discovered. Two voter identity cards were issued under the name and address of one Deepak Sharma with one of these cards containing the photograph of a woman. Similarly, one Madhuri Guddeti had two cards with one of them having different photograph. Two to three voter ID cards were registered for Srinadhu Sathyalatha and Kovuri Karthik, with all details matching and different photographs of the same person.

One ‘Miryala Ashok’ with vote in Devarakonda constituency, was registered with name ‘Ashok Miryala’ in Jubilee Hills constituency. Similarly, ‘S Ramesh’ from Gadwal constituency was enrolled again as ‘Ramesh S’, both with duplicate cards.

A pattern also emerges of mass voter additions on a single date, particularly on September 2, suggesting bulk uploads rather than individual verification. Many new voters share identical phone numbers or sequential EPIC IDs which are indicators of organised data entry.

In another instance, 43 voters were found registered under a single address in Yousufguda. According to the latest voters’ list for Krishnanagar B Block in Yousufguda division, 43 voters were enrolled under one address, falling under booth number 246.

BRS spokesperson Y Satish Reddy, in a post on X, said the voters’ list reportedly includes a person named Shaik Rasool, a resident of Uppal Assembly constituency, listed as Shaik Naib Rasool in Jubilee Hills. Similarly, another voter, Nangunuri Kranthi Kumar from Nakrekal Assembly constituency, appears as Kranthi Kumar Nangunoori in Jubilee Hills.

At the address Door No. 8-3-231/B/160, all 43 voters are registered, but according to local sources, only two actually reside there while the rest could not be found. The revelations surfaced on social media just days after Congress candidate V Naveen Yadav allegedly distributed voter ID cards in the area.
