EVMs can be hacked, we have seen its examples : Karnataka Dy.CM Dr. G Parameshwara
Bengaluru: Karnataka Deputy Chief Minister Dr. G Parameshwara on Monday added that the pro-BJP exit polls looks have been designed as per the orders of BJP but in reality it be the BJP who will lose.
Speaking to reporter at Sadashiv Nagar office the senior Congress leader said “By claiming that the party will get 300-400 seats in the exit polls, the BJP is solacing itself. But in reality it is the UPA government who will form the government. Even our leaders in Delhi are of the same opinion. Can you believe that BJP will win 18 seats in Karnataka?” He questioned.
“The exit polls this time are completely wrong. Especially that of Karnataka state. The JD(S) and Congress will get more seats than what is being projected in the exit polls, there is absolutely no doubt about it” he added while expressing dissent over the use of EVM machines.
“We don’t want EVM machines, the elections should be conducted through ballot papers. We requested the same to the Election Commission but it did not help. We have seen examples of EVMs being hacked and manipulated and there is no doubt about it” he said.

Mumbai family deaths: Rat poison ingredient zinc phosphide found in viscera, watermelon sample
Mumbai (PTI): Four members of a family in Pydhonie area of south Mumbai died last month due to rat poison, police officials said on Thursday.
The Forensic Science Laboratory (FSL) report has confirmed the presence of zinc phosphide in viscera (liver, kidney, spleen), stomach contents, bile, and abdominal fat samples of the deceased identified as Abdulla Dokadia (44), his wife Nasrin (35) and their daughters Aayesha (16) and Zaineb (13), said Deputy Commissioner of Police Pravin Mundhe.
"The watermelon sample also tested positive for zinc phosphide, while all other food items were negative. The report will be studied in depth. We will consult forensic doctors. Further probe in the case is underway," the DCP said.

Zinc phosphide is used primarily as a highly toxic acute rodenticide to control rats and mice.
"The forensic experts who examined the viscera of deceased Abdulla Dokadia, Nasrin (35), Aayesha (16) and Zaineb (13) found traces of zinc phosphide. It is, however, unclear whether the rat poison was consumed accidentally (or on purpose). So far, we have found no strong reason why the whole family would take such an extreme step," another official said.
Further probe is being conducted by the JJ Marg police station, which has recorded statements of kin and neighbours, he added.
The Dokadia family, residents of Ghari Mohalla on Ismail Kurte Road, had hosted a get-together of relatives on the night of April 25. At around 1 am, hours after the guests had left, Abdullah Dokadia, his wife Nasreen, and daughters Ayesha and Zaineb ate pieces of a watermelon.
They suffered severe bouts of vomiting and diarrhoea in the early hours of April 26 and were rushed to a local hospital before being referred to the government-run J J Hospital where all four died during treatment.
