Prakash Raj disputes voter registration status with Karnataka Election Commission

Actor Prakash Raj recently alleged that his name was removed from the Bengaluru electoral rolls during the ongoing Special Intensive Revision exercise in Karnataka. He shared a video on social media claiming that his voter registration had been deleted, prompting a response from election authorities who stated that his status was marked as permanently shifted rather than deleted. The actor subsequently accused officials of backtracking and staging a cover-up regarding the status of his registration.

The controversy has led to a public dispute between the actor and the election commission over the accuracy of the voter list. Prakash Raj, who previously contested as an independent candidate in the 2019 Lok Sabha elections, has demanded clarity on the documentation required to restore his registration. Officials have reportedly visited his former residence to verify his current status as part of the ongoing revision process.
