Meanwhile, a probe in on to ascertain if his second EPIC numbers is forged, Election Commission of India (ECI) sources told news agency ANI.The poll body reportedly noted that it is “quite likely that the second EPIC (Election Photo Identity Card) was never made through official channel”.EPIC is issued by the ECI to eligible voters. It serves as both proof of identity and eligibility to vote in elections.The poll body sources also rejected Tejaswi Yadav’s allegation that his EPIC number was changed, saying that the RJD leader used the Electoral Roll with EPIC No. RAB0456228 for filling his nomination papers on affidavit in 2020. The sources told ANI that the former Bihar chief minister was having this EPIC number even in the electoral roll in 2015 and his name with this EPIC number exists in the draft Electoral Rolls. They said the other EPIC number – RAB2916120 has been found to be non-existent, and more than 10 years of records have been checked, and further inquiries are being made to understand “whether that is a forged document”. “The other EPIC number – RAB2916120 has been found to be non-existing. More than ten years old records have been checked. No records have been found for the second EPIC number yet. It is highly likely that the second EPIC was never made through the official channel. Further inquiries are on to understand that reality of the second EPIC number, whether that is a forged document,” a source told the agency.Tejashwi Yadav, who is Lalu Yadav’s son, kicked off a political storm on Saturday after publicly claiming that his name had vanished from Bihar’s voter list, despite holding a valid EPIC number. Displaying the “no records found” message on a large screen during a press conference, the former deputy CM alleged a larger conspiracy by the Election Commission to erase voters ahead of the assembly polls.However, responding to the allegations, the Election Commission of India said Tejashwi Yadav’s name is present in the draft voter list. The Commission also released a copy of the list with his name to counter his claim.
