In the Belagavi region, local reports indicate that a series of Form-7 documents have been discovered that appear to be pre-filled with the intent of removing specific individuals from the electoral rolls. Form-7 is the official document used by the Election Commission of India for citizens to object to the inclusion of a name on the voter list or to request the deletion of a name due to death, migration, or ineligibility.

According to coverage by The Hindu, there are allegations that these forms were specifically prepared to target Muslim voters. The report suggests that the discovery of these forms has sparked concern regarding potential voter disenfranchisement and the integrity of the local electoral process. As of now, there has been no official confirmation from the Election Commission regarding the scale of this issue or the identity of those responsible for distributing or filling out the forms. Because only one primary source has reported on this specific incident at this time, there is no conflicting information regarding the facts of the discovery, though the motivations and the scope of the alleged targeting remain subject to further investigation by local authorities.
