New Delhi: Alex Halderman, a computer science professor at the University of Michigan who co authored a study titled "India's Electronic Voting Machines(EVMs)are vulnerable to fraud", was not allowed to enter the country after landing at the Indira Gandhi International (IGI) Airport. He said that he was not given any reason for detention but are fairly certain why it happened. In February 2010 Professor Halderman and his co researchers from India, U.S. and Netherlands had put out a report on how easily EVMs in India could be rigged. They had even offered to demonstrate it to the Election Commission but the commission refused. Their Indian co-author Hari Prasad was arrested for a month in August for refusing to name the official who gave them the EVM for their research. Halderman, was here to attend a technical conference in Gujarat.
