Bengaluru: The Election Commission of India (ECI) has conducted an investigation into large-scale voter data theft in Bengaluru, which was initially exposed by digital platforms The News Minute (TNM) and Pratidvani five months ago. The probe, conducted by Amlan Aditya Biswas, Regional Commissioner, Bengaluru Division, has substantiated TNM's findings, revealing that officers of the Bruhat Bengaluru Mahanagara Palike (BBMP) provided illegal and undue favors to a private trust called Chilume, allowing it to collect voter data and even attempted to subvert a complaint against the trust.
