Kadaba: In a disturbing incident at booth number 101 of Kermai Government Higher Primary School in the Sullia assembly constituency, a young individual was denied his right to vote due to errors committed by polling officials.
The individual, named Sadiq, arrived at the polling booth with the intention of exercising their voting rights. However, he was informed by the polling officials that his vote had already been cast. Perplexed by this revelation, Sadiq raised an objection, leading to a thorough examination of the voters' list.

It was discovered that another individual named Sadiq K., who had arrived prior to Sadiq, had mistakenly cast his vote under Sadiq's name. The polling officials incorrectly recorded Sadiq K. 's details as Sadiq's and obtained his signature. Apparently, the similarity in their fathers' names contributed to the confusion.
Subsequently, when Sadiq arrived at the polling booth, they discovered the error, resulting in a period of confusion and uncertainty. Unfortunately, due to the officials' negligence, Sadiq was asked to leave without having the opportunity to vote.
