Indian researcher shows faults in EVMs, gets arrested By SINS Hari Prasad, the Managing Director of Netindia an Indian research and development firm, on his refusal to disclose an anonymous source who provided an electronic voting machine to a team of security researchers was arrested. He and other researchers have long questioned the security of India's paperless electronic voting machines. Despite repeated reports of election irregularities and concerns about fraud, the Election Commission of India insists that the machines are tamper-proof. As per the reports Prasad was questioned Saturday morning at his home in Hyderabad by authorities who wanted to know the identity of the source who gave the voting machine to the research team. Prasad was ultimately arrested and taken to Mumbai, though reportedly hadn't been charged with a crime. In 2009, the commission publicly challenged Prasad to show that India's voting machines could be compromised, but refused to give him access to the machines to perform a review. Earlier this year, an anonymous source provided an Indian voting machine to a research team led by Prasad, The team exposed security flaws that could allow an attacker to change election results and compromise ballot secrecy. They published a paper detailing their findings.The Election Commission of India should have given researcher EVM to prove that EVM could be Tempered. Supreme Court should investigate through independent Jury the legality of the proces

yes the person hari prasad was working on behalf of NGO Save indian DEMOCRACY & VETA....:)
If there are only 2 types of politicians in India, 1. Chosen politics as a career to make money. 2. Chosen politics to make MORE money. Who would you vote for?
Why ICC is allowing the tournament to happen ? It is certainly not in the interest of cricket .... only meant of cheap money-making by some useless payers and retired cricketers .Indians corrupt everything thay touch.

Soorya is going tangential here. Let Sehwag do what he is doing well, and not burden him. Dhoni is a great captain, and folks like you always give credit to Ganguly, and now you have even included Dravid and Kumble to that list. All the biggies just bunked the T20, and they had the idea that T20 format would not cut the cake. Look at Tendulkar. He does play T20 for Mumbai Indians to make money, even playing 50-60 games for IPL. But for India, he doesn't want to play. Good for him if he wants to have focus, but does he? Dhoni grabbed the opportunity and challenege to lead a team of novices and brought glory. He doesn't have support from the BCCI politics as he is from a small city with no connections. Still he is trying hit bit. Even in yesterday's match, if he had not given support to Sehwag, India would have lost. Media also are against him, and always talk negative about him. But I really admire his astute captaincy, reading of grounds and players abilities and trying to do best with what he is given.

Whats wrong when Ganguly took captaincy?? By the match fixing issue, the unwanted guys like Azhar, Jadeja ,Mongia etc were removed and he got a fresh team and had the backup of Dalmiya to get what he want.. Hence he succeded.. Sachin with all his achievements was not able to demand the players he wanted because he dint have enopugh backup in the BCCI that time..
Dhoni getting players from Dada - When Dhoni took captaincy, Bhajji, Irfan, Sehwag everyone were not in form and were making comeback - Not by demanding by performance in domestic season.. Only Yuvi wa settled player in the team.. Dhoni handled the more experienced guys in the team perfectly avoiding any rifts within the team until now in his captaincy period and that itself is a great achievement considering the fact that he is junior to many ppl in the team!!!

I dont know, why people dont check records before going for lame Dhoni bashing. Ok lets agree that we chuck out Dhoni, as per these so called experts. Who is the alternative?? Karthik or Naman Ojha or W. Saha. Are they really better than Dhoni. Sehwag cudnt even handle Delhi Daredevils in IPL, and we talk abt he being captain of the Indian Team. Who else is there?? Dont forget that under Dhoni only, the concept of Superstars vanished and the team started playing as a TEAM. Let's stop talking abt Dada.. dada, as there was too much politics within team during his time. Had he been arnd, team wud hv been 7th in ODI and god knows wat position in Tests. Lets not talk abt his T20 skills, as he has made more individual records than team records for KKR.

Ditto. The real villains and money makers are Sharad Pawar, Srinivasan, and so on. These worthless folks with no knowledge either of game or management, just know swindling and corruption
Without blaming IPL, these guys are not going to have enough sleep..
Rajasthan who dint even spend minimum amount during first IPL, bidding strongly for one guy for all the money they have?? I dont think Warne would be so obsessed with Freddie as Freddie will share his limelight..
These stupids should have tried some other story than this one...
