Police have arrested four more men in connection with election fraud in Slough, according to the Slough & Windsor Observer, on suspicion of perjury and attempting to pervert the course of justice. The men, who police have not yet named, are aged between 30 and 50. They were taken to a Thames Valley police station where they will be interviewed by detectives. These men are the latest in a long line of people embroiled in the vote-rigging saga which took place in the Slough local elections last year where former councillor Eshaq Khan ousted long-standing Lydia Simmons with bogus voters. On Tuesday last week six Slough men crammed into Slough Magistrates to face election fraud charges. This included deputy mayor, Cllr Mohammed Aziz who is charged with one count of conspiracy to defraud and four counts of applying for postal votes as another person.
