Punjab Chief Electoral Officer S Karuna Raju handed over two different electoral photo identity cards to famous twins Sohan Singh and Mohan Singh, affectionately known as Sohna-Mohana, from Amritsar. The Election Commission of India had treated Sohna and Mohana as separate voters and decided to give individual voting rights to both of them.
Both Sohna and Mohana turned 18 last year. Raju said that special arrangements would be made for Sohna and Mohana so that both of them could vote separately while maintaining their secrecy. Born in Delhi in June 2003, he was abandoned by his parents. He was adopted by an orphanage in Amritsar.
