In Tamil Nadu, India, approximately 25 foreign nationals have been arrested for allegedly casting fraudulent votes in the recently held state assembly election. The arrests occurred after officials from the Bureau of Immigration and local police detected electoral ink on the individuals' fingers, indicating that they had participated in the voting process. The group primarily included Sri Lankan citizens, along with some British and Canadian nationals. Legal action has been initiated against them under the Bharatiya Nyay Sanhita (BNS), 2023, and other relevant laws. Authorities acted on intelligence reports suggesting that these individuals were attempting to flee the country after voting. The arrests were coordinated at major airports including Chennai and Madurai. While officials have not commented on whether these fraudulent votes could influence the election results, a comprehensive report has been submitted to the Election Commission of India (ECI), and investigations are ongoing to analyze the details of foreign nationals who arrived in India for the elections.
