The names of Priyanka Chopra and her mother Madhu Chopra are present in the voters list and recently a complaint in this regard was filed by a resident of Kuwarpur here.
When the names of the actor and her mother were included in the voters list of Mumbai, where the family shifted, her father late Col Ashok Chopra had informed the district administration about it through a letter in 2012, but their names were not deleted, officials said.
Mukherji said that a survey is conducted before each election to check for duplication of names of voters who have shifted elsewhere.
"It was perhaps by mistake on the part of the block level officer concerned, who prepared the fresh electoral rolls for this election. We will take action against those responsible for this error," he said.
District election officer R Vikram Singh said the names of persons not living in the town for long should not be in the voters list.
