Indelible, this ink, really?

Bengaluru: Some indelible ink, this! Parakshith Dalal, a voter residing in Frazer Town, Bangalore (North) parliamentary constituency found that the ink used to mark the left index finger of voters during polling was anything but indelible.

For, the ink disappeared when he used soap water and nail polish remover, prompting him to hand in a written complaint to the Assistant Returning Officer (ARO) of his booth. "This incident needs to be probed and to check if the right kind of ink is being used or someone is replacing them with imitation ink," he told Deccan Chronicle.

When DC tried to contact officials at the booth, they declined to comment about the ink.
