In a significant development following the Tamil Nadu Assembly elections, immigration authorities have arrested at least 10 foreigners, primarily Sri Lankan nationals, for allegedly voting illegally. The arrests occurred at Chennai and Madurai airports after immigration officers noticed indelible ink marks on the fingers of the suspects during pre-departure checks. Those arrested include individuals aged between 38 and 68, with some also holding Indian voter identity cards, which is prohibited for foreign passport holders. Authorities are investigating how these individuals obtained their voter IDs and whether they participated in the elections. This incident raises serious concerns about the verification processes used during the recent Special Intensive Revision of electoral rolls, which aimed to update voter lists by removing deceased individuals and those who had relocated. The revision resulted in the deletion of nearly 74 lakh names from the rolls, while approximately 27.5 lakh new voters were added. As the investigation unfolds, election and immigration officials are expected to collaborate with central agencies to address potential fraud and lapses in the electoral system.
