Three Afghan nationals removed from Jamshedpur East draft voter list
India
Three Afghan nationals (Asil Khan, Mohammad Aslam, and Mohammad Ibrahim) somehow ended up on Jharkhand's draft voter list for the Jamshedpur East Assembly.
They even took part in the official process, but document checks flagged them as foreign citizens.
Their names have now been removed.

Local authorities are digging into how these names slipped through, including looking at their family members and documents.
