The June 2026 Alipore fire destroyed a little over 3,000 stored EVMs, but the Election Commission said VVPAT slips were kept separately and remained safe. The incident raises a real election-record custody and resilience issue and prompted an SIT probe; no reviewed evidence establishes sabotage or a connection to Rahul Gandhi’s 2025 “vote theft” allegations.
