The 796 requests to delete names from the electoral roll filed by 20 Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP)-appointed Booth Level Agents (BLA) in Delhi’s Mustafabad were mostly concentrated in just 25 of the 294 polling stations of the assembly constituency, The Hindu found.

The Form 7 applications were all against Muslim voters and 25 booths, spread over three wards, appeared to have been selected because they had a sizeable Muslim population eligible for several deletions when the draft voter list was released as part of the special intensive review (SIR) of electoral rolls, analysis of records and interviews with local BJP workers showed. The three neighborhoods are Nehru Vihar, Dayalpur and Chandu Nagar.
