The Election Commission of India has sent formal notices to three senior officials, citing discrepancies in the Delhi State Information Report (SIR). The notices were addressed to former Union Minister L.K. Advani, current Minister of External Affairs P.V. Jaishankar, and Election Commissioner Sandhu.
According to the Commission, the SIR contains data that does not align with official records, raising concerns about the accuracy of the information presented to the public. The notices demand that the officials provide clarifications and corrective measures within a specified timeframe.

The officials have yet to respond publicly to the notices. The Election Commission has reiterated that it will follow up on the matter and ensure that the report meets the required standards of accuracy and reliability.
