**Fake Voter ID Cards with Photos of Tollywood Actresses Discovered Ahead of Jubilee Hills By-election in Telangana**

A controversy has erupted ahead of the Jubilee Hills Assembly by-election in Telangana after fake voter ID cards bearing the photos of popular actresses Tamannaah Bhatia, Samantha Ruth Prabhu, and Rakul Preet Singh were discovered at a single residential address. Authorities from the Election Commission have confirmed that they are investigating the matter to determine how these fraudulent entries were created.

### Same Address, Multiple Fake IDs

According to reports, all three fabricated voter ID cards listed the same address within the Jubilee Hills constituency, raising serious questions about the integrity of the electoral rolls. The Election Commission’s local office has taken note of these irregularities and stated that verification is underway to trace those responsible.

### Political Stakes and Candidates

The by-election for the Jubilee Hills Assembly seat is scheduled for November 11, with vote counting planned on November 14. The seat fell vacant following the death of BRS MLA Maganti Gopinath in June due to a heart attack.

The ruling Congress party has fielded V. Naveen Yadav as its candidate, while Maganti Sunitha, the widow of the late MLA, represents the Bharath Rashtra Samithi (BRS). The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has nominated Lankala Deepak Reddy to contest from the seat.

### BRS Alleges “Thousands of Fake Voters”

The opposition BRS has accused the ruling Congress of orchestrating large-scale voter registration fraud in the constituency. BRS Working President KT Rama Rao alleged that the Congress manipulated the electoral rolls by creating thousands of fake entries.

> “In one house, they got 43 fake votes registered. In total, they registered thousands of fake votes. We are doing an exercise on that and will counter it in whatever way necessary,” KTR said.

### Legal Challenge and Court’s Observation

Following these allegations, the BRS approached the Telangana High Court, seeking action against the alleged irregularities. However, during a recent hearing, the High Court observed that since the State Election Commission is already revising the electoral rolls, no additional directions were necessary at this stage.

The incident involving fake voter ID cards featuring prominent film celebrities has added a dramatic twist to an already heated campaign in Jubilee Hills.
