S Jaishankar, ex-Army chief, CBI director get SIR notices in Delhi

Union Minister S Jaishankar and his wife, Kyoko S Jaishankar, are the latest VVIPs to be served Election Commission notices under the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls in Delhi.

CBI Director Praveen Sood and members of his family, former Army Chief General Upendra Dwivedi and his wife, and CPM MP John Britas’s wife and son have also received notices under the exercise.

All the notices were issued as part of the Election Commission’s ongoing SIR exercise in the constituency.

Jaishankar and his wife have been placed in the “unmapped with last SIR” category, indicating that their current electoral records could not be linked to the rolls prepared during the previous revision exercise in 2002.

The couple are registered as voters in the Sunder Bagh electoral part of the New Delhi Assembly constituency.

CBI Director Praveen Sood, his wife Vanita Sood and his mother Kamlesh Sood have also been served notices. All three were categorised as “unmapped with last SIR”.

Former Army Chief General Upendra Dwivedi and his wife, Sunita Dwivedi, received notices under the same category. They are also registered as voters in the New Delhi Assembly constituency.

The notices issued to CPM MP John Britas’s wife, Sheba Britas, and their son, Anand Britas, cited different discrepancies.

Sheba was flagged for a “self-name mismatch”, while Anand received a notice over a “parent-name mismatch”. Anand’s notice may have been triggered by the discrepancy identified in his mother’s electoral record.

Sheba and Anand are also registered as voters in the New Delhi Assembly constituency.- EndsPublished By: Aprameya RaoPublished On: Sep 20, 2026 17:48 IST
