Overview
- The booth‑level officer alleges that on July 5 in Fatak Telian one man forced the SIR register onto her lap, signed it despite her objections, and others abused her and refused to accept enumeration forms.
- The woman, a government special‑education teacher deployed as a BLO, brought the matter to the Additional District Magistrate on July 15 after consulting senior election officials, which prompted a police probe.
- Delhi Police registered an FIR under sections of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita for obstructing a public servant and offences related to outraging a woman’s modesty and arrested four Turkman Gate residents named by investigators.
- The accused are identified as Mohammad Sabreen (44), Ateeq ur Rehman (58), Mohammad Asif (50) and Mohammad Aftab (44) and police say further inquiry is under way to verify the sequence of events and examine evidence.
- The SIR is a door‑to‑door voter‑roll update carried out by BLOs and the case highlights concerns about the safety and authority of election workers when they perform field enumeration, which could prompt tighter local safeguards.
