He revealed it in an online press briefing on Thursday afternoon.
Islam said the report of the inquiry into forging national identity cards would be submitted next week.
The NID DG said, “We’ll compile all the reports after receiving the inquiry report, and take actions identifying the culprits.”
He said 2,07,000 dual voters have been detected while updating the voter lists. “We’ll take legal action against those who deliberately become voters for the second time among these voters.”
