The Election Commission of India (ECI) has directed the suspension of four police officials, including Deputy Commissioner Siddartha Dutta, due to a failure to maintain law and order during a roadshow in the Bhabanipur Assembly Constituency, where Union Home Minister Amit Shah participated. The ECI's directive, sent to the Chief Secretary of West Bengal, also mandates disciplinary action against the officers involved. Additionally, a primary school teacher was suspended after being caught on video preparing campaign materials for a political party, following a formal complaint from the Trinamool Congress. In related developments, the ECI has approved the establishment of 4,660 auxiliary polling stations to accommodate voters, bringing the total number of polling stations in West Bengal to 85,379. Furthermore, former Kolkata Police Commissioner Supratim Sarkar has been assigned to serve as a police observer in Tamil Nadu, although he has requested relief from this duty for medical reasons.
