Election Commission of India today asked Delhi Police to lodge an FIR and investigate the matter related to claim by a self-proclaimed cyber expert on EVMs tampering.
In a letter to Police, the Commission cited media reports saying that the cyber expert, during an event in London, claimed that he was part of the EVM design team and he can hack the EVM used in the elections in India.
The poll panel said the statement of the self-proclaimed expert is violative of Indian Penal Code and the matter should be investigated promptly.
Yesterday at an event in London, the cyber expert had claimed that the Electronic Voting Machines can be tempered with and the 2014 Lok Sabha elections were rigged.
