R Rajagopal: Editors Guild of India condemns 'denial' of voting and passport rights of former The Telegraph editor
The Editors Guild of India condemned the denial of voting and passport rights to former editor R Rajagopal, who was removed from the electoral roll during a controversial voter list revision. Rajagopal alleges that despite being a voter since 2010 and serving as editor of The Telegraph for seven years, his name was removed because it wasn't found in the 2002 electoral rolls. The Election Commission of India (ECI) has not publicly responded to specific allegations about Rajagopal. The BBC reached out to officials for comment.
