Election Commission Denies Issuing Notice to Scientist C.N.R. Rao
The Election Commission of India (ECI) has denied issuing any notice to Bharat Ratna awardee scientist C.N.R. Rao regarding his voter roll entry. This denial comes after reports emerged that Rao had received a notice from Karnataka authorities concerning a discrepancy in his name on the voter roll. The reports indicated the notice was related to an extra 'F' in his name, identified as 'Chintamani Nagesa Ramachandra Rao' versus 'Chintamani Nagesa Ramachandra Rao F'. The ECI stated that the information about issuing a notice was factually incorrect.
