After completing the investigation, the team submitted a chargesheet running into 22,000 pages.<\/p>\n<p id=\"3\" class=\"story_para_3\">The issue first came to public attention after Congress MLA BR Patil levelled allegations of vote theft. This was followed by a formal complaint from election officials. Congress leader Rahul Gandhi had also raised the issue, prompting the government to order the probe.<\/p>\n<p id=\"4\" class=\"story_para_4\">The case was registered on the allegation that the names of 5,994 voters were deleted from the electoral rolls in Aland. During the investigation, several details reportedly emerged, including the alleged use of cyber centres to carry out the deletions.<\/p>\n<p id=\"5\" class=\"story_para_5\">According to the chargesheet, money was allegedly paid by Guttedar to facilitate the removal of voters\u2019 names. The investigation team has now formally placed the chargesheet before the court in connection with the case.<\/p>\n<div class=\"jsx-ff4fe2ed9527ebb3 midgprfd\">\n<div class=\"jsx-ff4fe2ed9527ebb3 midgprfdbtn\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/images.news18.com\/dlxczavtqcctuei\/news18\/static\/images\/english\/google-color.svg\" width=\"36\" height=\"36\" alt=\"\" class=\"jsx-ff4fe2ed9527ebb3\"\/><span class=\"jsx-ff4fe2ed9527ebb3\">Click here to add News18 as your preferred news source on Google. <\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"jsx-ee90caf6118df965 jsx-74929460 atbtlink fp\"><span>First Published:<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"rs\">\n<p>December 13, 2025, 10:46 IST<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"jsx-ee90caf6118df965 jsx-74929460 brdcrmb\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.news18.com\/\">News<\/a>  <a href=\"https:\/\/www.news18.com\/politics\/\">politics<\/a>  <span class=\"brdout\"> SIT Files Chargesheet In Aland \u2018Vote Chori\u2019 Case, Names Ex-Karnataka BJP MLA &amp; Son Among Others<\/span><\/div>\n<div id=\"coral-wrap\" class=\"jsx-ba4d8f086a12294f \">\n<div class=\"jsx-ba4d8f086a12294f coral-cont\">\n<div class=\"jsx-ba4d8f086a12294f coltoptxt\">Disclaimer: Comments reflect users\u2019 views, not News18\u2019s.
