Those flagged include External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar, former Army Chief Upendra Trivedi, CBI Director Praveen Sood, and former Delhi Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia. Discrepancies involve unmapped entries, name mismatches, and parental age inconsistencies. The Delhi Chief Electoral Officer clarified that issuing notices does not mean deletion from electoral rolls, stating the exercise aims to correct data with due opportunity to be heard. Meanwhile, political parties exchanged barbs, with opposition leaders alleging a conspiracy to disenfranchise voters, while others defended the SIR as a transparent, constitutional process applied equally across all citizens.
