123 Kolkata: The EC issued new EPICs to 615 voters in Bengal whose voter IDs were found to bear numbers identical to those of voters from other states. The issue of bogus voters and duplicate EPICs was recently highlighted by Bengal CM Mamata Banerjee.It was found that the EPICs of Bengal voters mostly matched with the EPICs issued to voters in Haryana. Some of the EPIC numbers even matched with those of Assam, an official added. The EC, in a press release earlier this week, stated that the number of voters with identical EPIC numbers was minuscule, as it was one in four polling booths. The official mentioned that it was found that while the voters were genuine, they somehow had received identical EPIC numbers.Therefore, the EC decided to withdraw their EPICs and issue fresh cards.The EC in Bengal also deleted the names of 7,800 voters whose names were found to be enrolled in other states as well. Most of them had shifted, which led to their names being deleted, the official said.
