On Thursday morning, a locked Trinamool Congress (TMC) office in Tangra, Kolkata, was found to contain stacks of voter, Aadhaar, and ration cards. The office, previously used by TMC councillor Jibankumar Saha, had been locked since the May 4 Assembly election results. Local residents, alongside BJP supporters, forcibly opened the office and discovered the neatly arranged identity documents inside a cabinet. This led to protests and heightened tensions in the area. Many locals recognized their missing cards among the recovered items, raising questions about how duplicates were stored in a political office. Allegations surfaced that TMC officials collected these cards under the guise of facilitating government welfare schemes but failed to return them. The police have initiated an investigation to determine how such a large number of sensitive documents ended up at the TMC office and are reaching out to individuals whose names appear on the seized cards. No TMC leaders have commented on the situation as of now.
