Indian-origin foreign nationals may have voted in Tamil Nadu Assembly
Turns out, some foreign nationals of Indian origin might have voted in the Tamil Nadu Assembly elections this year, even though they weren't supposed to.
Authorities are now digging through immigration records to figure out who entered India just before polling and left soon after.
So far, about 40 cases have popped up.
Family suspected of falsifying voter declarations
The investigation kicked off when a couple at Madurai airport admitted they'd voted after officials noticed ink on their fingers.
Another case involved a UK national caught at Chennai airport for voting in Velachery.
Officials think family members may have helped keep these names on voter lists by making false declarations.
If found guilty, those involved could face legal action and lose their Overseas Citizen of India (OCI) cards, plus, the Election Commission will decide if their votes count or not.
