Panaji, March 8 A woman has been booked for allegedly concealing her Portuguese nationality and fraudulently enrolling her name in the voter list of the Vasco assembly constituency in Goa, a police official said on Sunday.
The case was registered at the Vasco police station on a complaint filed by the Executive Magistrate and Mamlatdar of Mormugao, who is also the Assistant Electoral Registration Officer (AERO) for the Vasco assembly constituency, he added.
"Elizabeth Luis, a resident of Bhute Bhat, allegedly suppressed the fact that she had acquired Portuguese nationality and possessed a Portuguese passport. Despite being aware of her foreign citizenship status, she submitted an enumeration form during the Special Intensive Revision conducted by the Election Commission of India," the official said.
"The form was submitted to the Mamlatdar through the booth-level officer of the Mormugao Municipal Council. By doing so, she committed forgery with the intention of cheating and fraudulently enrolling herself as a voter," he added.
