India, Oct. 26 -- A Congress worker has been accused of casting a bogus vote in the name of another woman during polling for the West Graduates' Constituency election in Karnataka's Haveri, according to media reports.

The Haveri assistant commissioner submitted a report to the district election officer stating that, prima facie, Congress worker Shilpa Bademmanavar voted in the name of Asha Patil, wife of Congress district unit president Sanjeevkumar Neralagi.

The district election officer directed the presiding officer to lodge a complaint against Bademmanavar. Police said an FIR would be registered only after the matter was brought to the court's notice, since it pertains to an election.
