Amid Bihar Dy CM voter ID row, Akhilesh alleges bogus voting in UP: 'CM facilitated vote loot'
After RJD leader Tejashwi Yadav's allegation that Bihar deputy chief minister Vijay Kumar Sinha has two EPIC numbers, Samajwadi Party president Akhilesh Yadav trained guns at Uttar Pradesh chief minister Yogi Adityanath accusing him of "facilitating vote loot". Akhilesh Yadav talking to mediapersons in Etawah on Saturday. (HT PHOTO) Bihar deputy chief minister Vijay Kumar Sinha on Sunday responded to Tejashwi Yadav's allegation that he holds two elector's photo identity card (EPIC) numbers in different constituencies. "Our whole family had voter IDs from Bankipur. In April 2024, I applied to add my name to the Lakhisarai constituency and remove it from Bankipur. It did not happen immediately, so I called the BLO, filled the form, and took the receipt. I have all the documents. "I voted from only one place last time too; it was in Lakhisarai," Sinha said, according to an ANI news agency report. Akhilesh alleges bogus voting in UP Connecting the row with Uttar Pradesh, Akhilesh Yadav said, '...If their deputy CM has two EPIC numbers, here [in UP] the CM was facilitating vote loot. The CM here was facilitating booth Ayodhya, who were the education department officials who were delegating duty to others? In Mirapur, the commissioner, SSP and DM were going around with force to make sure that people did not step out to vote,' ANI posted a video of Akhilesh Yadav speaking. "Did we not see a revolver being aimed at women? Was the Election Commission sleeping? That is why we had gone to offer them a white 'chadar'. When officers become criminals to loot votes, who will take action?" Akhilesh Yadav added, referring to an incident where a UP cop allegedly pointed gun at woman voters in Mirapur during by-elections conducted on nine seats of Uttar Pradesh in November 2024. Meanwhile, the Patna district magistrate on Sunday wrote to Vijay Kumar Sinha, seeking to submit his response regarding holding two electors' photo identity card (EPIC) numbers in different constituencies.

Eight people have been killed and three injured in a nightclub shooting in rural Ecuador, in what police suspect is linked to organised crime. read more A shooting at a nightclub in rural Ecuador has left eight people dead and three others injured, in what authorities believe is the latest outbreak of violence linked to organised crime. Police Colonel Javier Chango said seven victims died at the scene, while another died later in hospital. The attack took place in Santa Lucia, a town of 38,000 in Guayas, one of four provinces placed under a two-month state of emergency earlier this week by President Daniel Noboa in an effort to tackle gang violence. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD According to Chango, the attackers arrived in two pick-up trucks and opened fire on customers drinking outside the Napoles nightclub at around 1:15 am local time (0615 GMT). They fled along an 'unknown route', leaving behind more than 800 cartridge cases. Among the dead was nightclub owner Jorge Urquizo, the brother of Santa Lucia's mayor. Police have yet to establish a motive. 'We are open to all hypotheses; we can't rule any out yet,' Chango told reporters. Ecuador recorded 4,619 homicides in the first half of 2025, a 47 per cent increase compared with the same period last year. Mass killings and high-profile violent incidents have surged since 2023, when the country experienced its deadliest year on record with 8,008 murders, equivalent to a rate of 47 per 100,000 inhabitants, up sharply from 6.7 per 100,000 in 2020, according to the US Committee for Refugees and Immigrants.
