Dog Gets Voter ID in Bihar: ‘Kutia Devi and Kutta Babu’ Listed as Parents

A bizarre incident has come to light in Bihar where a voter ID card was issued in the name of a dog. According to documents, the mother’s name is listed as ‘Kutia Devi’ and the father’s name as ‘Kutta Babu’. This strange situation highlights severe lapses in the state’s documentation process.

Locals are astonished to see how a dog managed to get a government-issued voter certificate. “The dog’s name was given as ‘Doggy Babu’ and even its photo appears on the voter ID,” a resident shared, expressing disbelief. Many recall previous instances of such errors in Bihar’s documentation system, mentioning how, in the past, voter IDs were reportedly issued in the names of celebrities like Sunny Leone and even Chief Minister Nitish Kumar.

Critics question the effectiveness and seriousness of Bihar’s voter list revision process, claiming it raises wider concerns about corruption and inefficiency in state offices. Locals wryly comment, “Here, no official document gets made without bribes. One wonders what bribe the dog or its owner had to offer to get this certificate made!”

The address listed on the voter ID is genuine, further confusing the public and inviting ridicule online. “See for yourself: the name on the card is ‘Dog Babu’, mother is ‘Kutia Devi’, and father is ‘Kutta Babu’. This is the reality!” said an amused source.

The controversy has prompted renewed attention to Bihar’s previous incidents, where, amid the intense review process, such errors continue to emerge. This raises questions about how government records are handled with seeming negligence.

The matter also relates to a recent press conference where Bihar’s Chief Minister was confronted about the credibility of media reports, some based on “unnamed sources”. Defending himself, he clarified he never questioned the media’s credibility but highlighted that reports based solely on sources can sometimes be misleading.

Amid these revelations, questions remain: How did a dog get a voter certificate? Who is accountable for such blunders? With affidavits filed in the Supreme Court regarding fake and external voters, the integrity of Bihar’s voter registration is under heightened scrutiny once again.
