Mohammed Shami Summoned By Election Commission Over Voter List Discrepancy

In this Special Report, India Today's Anirban Sinha Roy reports that Indian cricketer Mohammed Shami and his brother Mohammed Kaif have been summoned by the Election Commission for a hearing regarding the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls. The poll body issued notices from Kartju Nagar School in Jadavpur, South Kolkata, citing a mismatch in their enumeration forms. Shami, a resident of the Rashbehari constituency, could not attend the initial hearing as he is currently playing in the Vijay Hazare Trophy in Rajkot. The reporter explains that while Shami is a native of Uttar Pradesh, he has been a long-time resident of Bengal. The hearing has been rescheduled to accommodate his cricket schedule.
