Sunil Karmakar with the voter card carrying dog's photo instead of his own.
In a shocking incident, a resident of Ramnagar village in West Bengal's Murshidabad was issued a voter ID card with a dog's picture on it.
Sunil Karmakar on Wednesday said that he had applied for a correction in his voter ID card and when he received a revised card, it had a dog's photo instead of his own.
"Yesterday I was called at Dulal Smriti School and this voter ID card was given to me. I saw the photo. The officer there signed and gave it to me but he didn't see the photo. This is playing with my dignity. I will go to the BDO office and request that this should not happen again," he added.
However, the Block Development Officer (BDO) has said that the picture has already been corrected and Mr Karmakar will get the revised ID card with the correct photo.
"It's not his final voter ID card. If there is a mistake, it'll be corrected. As far as the dog's photo is concerned, it might have been done by someone while filling online application. The photo has already been corrected. He'll get the final ID card with the correct photo," he added.
