THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: The police have initiated an investigation focused on the "With IYC" app created by a private agency regarding fake identity cards used in the Youth Congress elections. They aim to uncover how these fake identity cards were uploaded to the app.

Using the mobile app CR Card, a preliminary check is underway to determine the number of generated cards and their users. Efforts are also being made to identify those who voted using these fake cards. Once the election agency's server is accessed, the police will obtain details of all individuals who cast votes, potentially revealing those who voted with fake identities. Notably, the same number was reportedly used for all the fraudulent cards aiding the police in identifying fake voters.

Although the private agency has been informed about a hacking incident, they have not filed a complaint. DCP Nithin Raj, Head of the Special Investigation Team, stated that the police will investigate the origins of the mobile app, its purpose, and its functionality. A young man from Kollam, who recently claimed responsibility for creating the fake card in the media will also be approached by the police for information.

Crucial information has been gathered from DYFI leaders AA Rahim MP, VK Sanoj and V Wasif by the investigation team.
