Exclusive: Truth behind Karnataka voter ID cards scandal revealed

A number of Bengaluru citizens remain bereft of their voter IDs they applied for months ago, with an India Today probe pointing to a possible haul of their election cards by unscrupulous elements before the May 12 assembly poll.

On Tuesday, authorities seized 9,746 voter ID cards from the apartment of a former BJP councillor Manjula Nanjamuri in the city's Jalahalli neighbourhood of Rajarajeshwari Nagar constituency.

Armed with images of a few seized cards, India Today's investigative team set out to crack the whodunit mystery behind the stash that sparked a political blame-game between the Congress and rival BJP.
