Special Correspondent

HYDERABAD: A city-based computer engineer who demonstrated the vulnerability of Electronic Voting Machines (EVMs) to tampering was taken into custody by the Mumbai police from his residence in Madhapur locality here on Saturday morning.

The Mumbai police was investigating the case of a ‘missing EVM' from the Mumbai collectorate and the same machine was reportedly used for the ‘vulnerability demonstration' by the technologist, Hari K. Prasad, in April last.

Mr. Prasad, managing director of a Hyderabad-based technology firm NetIndia, had taken the help of two other researchers — a Michigan University professor, J. Alex Halderman, and a Holland-based technology activist, Rop Gonggrijp.
