FIR for documenting and reporting the fraudulent ways of the ongoing SIR in Bihar.

Civil society organisations, together with credible individuals, should immediately conduct a fact-finding operation in several Bihar locations including Begusarai.

If ECI/government officials do not cooperate, at least common voters, in good number, should be interviewed on camera.

The reports should be promptly publicised.

The authorities appear to be too clever by half. By registering an FIR against Ajit Anjum -- the investigating journalist -- they've only ensured far greater public attention to the ongoing fraud than otherwise.

Now, quite likely, the issue would figure even in the Supreme Court. A bit of pre-publicity is not too bad.
