Fake signatures in nomination: Probe sought by Haveri district election officer

Haveri: The Haveri district election officer has lodged a complaint with the rural police alleging that an Independent candidate has submitted a proposer's affidavit by faking the latter's signature.

Raghunandan Murthy, the deputy commissioner who is also the district election officer, said that they met the proposers in person, who denied they put signatures on the affidavit.

A nomination for election should be supported by 10 proposers.
