Kejriwal and family hit with SIR notices in Delhi rolls revision

A surprising scene unfolds as Arvind Kejriwal and four family members are named in a Delhi SIR notices batch. Kejriwal, his wife Sunita, son Pulkit, and his parents Gobind Ram and Gita Devi are listed among 110 voters in Part-51, KG Marg, who face notices for being unmapped with last SIR²⁹. The Delhi Election Commission explains that notices are part of routine verification in the ongoing Special Intensive Revision, and Kejriwal’s name sits in the crosshairs of a larger list that includes Rekha Gupta and others^4,11.

The process involves field checks by Booth Level Officers and the submission of documents to verify or correct entries, with the final electoral roll due for publication on November 4^7,8,11. The flap around Kejriwal’s case has spurred political comment, but officials insist the system treats all voters the same and that verification is aimed at accuracy, not punishment^6,15.

In this instance, details show that the batch of notices targets individuals tied to a specific locality and a defined ward segment, where the integrity of the mapping is crucial to ensure that residents are accurately recorded on the rolls. The intelligence behind the Special Intensive Revision is to tighten gaps revealed in previous checks, and the inclusion of high-profile names underscores the broad scope of the exercise, which continues while parties debate the implications.

As part of the procedure, voters are asked to furnish or verify documents, such as identity proofs and residential details, to corroborate their entries, and the EC reiterates that the objective is to achieve a precise roll rather than cast blame. Officials emphasize that the routine checks proceed uniformly across the city, with all names undergoing the same scrutiny and no bias toward any party or individual^4,11,7,8.
