Asked whether different types of information were being leaked from different offices, the Election Commission official said, “I cannot say at this point. Let’s see what comes out in the investigation. Services of suspicious organizations have been stopped.
Explaining about the verification services, KM Humayun Kabir said that not all institutions receive all types of information; For example, the police have access to 10 to 12 types of information, while banks have access to individuals’ addresses and parents’ names.
However, the EC cannot completely eliminate verification services due to its obligations according to its agreements with the entities.
He said that if anyone is found responsible for the leakage, legal action will be taken. If the entities responsible for software maintenance are found to be involved in the leak, the commission will recommend that they be blacklisted and not be given any work in the country.
