BJP's Amit Malviya's name absent from EC's order letter on Karnataka poll date leak

A tweet by the BJP's IT cell chief announcing the Karnataka Assembly polls date before an official declaration triggered a controversy today, prompting the Election Commission to set up a probe committee that may seek help from central agencies, including the Intelligence Bureau.
Highly-placed sources in the Election Commission (EC) said the Intelligence Bureau may be approached to get call records of all those who were in the know of the official schedule of the election and counting dates.
As per the process, CEC O P Rawat will have to write to the Home Ministry to get the desired information under relevant laws.
Ahead of the official announcement by Rawat, BJP IT cell chief Amit Malviya had tweeted that voting will be held on May 12 and the counting will take place on May 18. He was correct about the day of the voting, but got the counting date wrong. The counting will take place on May 15.
