The actor cast his vote at a private school in Valasaravakkam.

“We have sought a detailed report from the Chennai district election officer (DEO) as to how the official in the school allowed the actor to vote without his name being on the electoral roll,” Sahoo said.

said Srikanth had neither cast his vote nor entered the polling booth.
