The recent Delhi Medical Council elections have run into serious controversy. Consequently, a group of doctors has demanded an independent probe due to severe allegations of bogus voting. This election aimed to restore trust in the regulatory body. However, the new allegations have now put the entire process under a cloud.
Specifically, candidates reported instances of multiple voting at the polling station. Furthermore, voters claimed that they easily washed off the indelible ink with water. In addition, there are deep concerns regarding the leakage of private voter data. Dr. Abhishek Garg, a candidate from the Sankalp organization, has officially urged authorities to withhold the election results. Therefore, many doctors are asking for a complete verification of all polling logs and identity records.
Significantly, a case addressing these election irregularities is already pending before the Delhi High Court. Meanwhile, the complainants have sent a formal memorandum to the Lieutenant Governor and the Health Minister. They argue that authorities must resolve these issues to protect the credibility of the statutory medical regulator. Despite these serious complaints, the returning officer has not yet issued an official response to the public.

Doctors and the Sankalp organization alleged serious voting irregularities, such as bogus voting, ineffective ink, and voter data leaks.
Q2: Who is leading the demand for an independent probe?
Consequently, Dr. Abhishek Garg, a candidate and founder of Sankalp, is leading the demand for a probe.
