Candidates who lost the election handover 7 'EVM hackers’ to Mysuru police

Mysuru: Some candidates who lost the elections brought a group of seven people for the police to arrest, charging that the group had figured out how to hack the EVMs in the recently concluded Assembly polls.

The episode occurred at Narasimha Raja (NR) police headquarters on Wednesday late night. 

Crowd assembled before the police headquarters at 11 pm. 

City Police Commissioner A Rao said that a few candidates of NR, Chamaraja and KR Constituencies, who lost the current election, claimed that the seven individuals they gave over to the police had figured out how to hack EVMs. 

The defeated candidates said that the group of seven had moved toward them preceding the elections offering to hack the EVMs for them. In any case, they had sent the corrupt group back without tolerating their offer. 

Rao affirmed that the police did not enroll any case in this association and nobody was arrested. 

Appointee Commissioner Abhiram G Sankar expressed that it was unrealistic to hack the EVMS.
