Man Gets Voter ID Card With Dog's Photo On It After Correction 

In a shocking and bizarre case, a man from West Bengal's Murshidabad town was issued a voter ID card with a dog's picture on it. The man has been identified as Sunil Karmakar, who is a resident of Ramnagar village.

Earlier in the week, the man had applied for a correction in his voter ID card; after receiving the revised card, it had a dog's photo on it instead of his own. While speaking to media, Karmakar said "Yesterday I was called at Dulal Smriti School and this voter ID card was given to me. I saw the photo. The officer there signed and gave it to me but he didn't see the photo."

"This is playing with my dignity. I will go to the BDO office and request that this should not happen again," he added.

Further clarifying over the correction, the Block Development Officer (BDO) stated that the photo has already been corrected and the man will get the revised ID card with the correct photo soon.

"It's not his final voter ID card. If there is a mistake, it'll be corrected. As far as the dog's photo is concerned, it might have been done by someone while filling online application. The photo has already been corrected. He'll get the final ID card with the correct photo," Rajarshi Chakraborty, BDO officer said.
