Akshaya Hariharan claims someone else cast her vote
She took to X (formerly Twitter) to share a video in which she said, “Hi, I am just here to say that someone else has already cast my vote. It is really shocking. So I am from Velachery (in Tamil Nadu), and I didn't get my vote slip. Then, the details were shared online that my booth was in Adiyar, so I went to Adiyar and waited for an hour and then someone else had already cast my vote. There was another photo of a woman claiming to be 24 years old, and they put a fingerprint. My second name is Hariharan, so everything is correct on the paper, but only the photos are different. So they should have checked before, because how can someone else cast their vote for me?”
