The Election Commission of India has suspended the Inspector-in-Charge of Naihati police station in West Bengal for allegedly transporting the Chairman of Naihati Municipality, a political figure, to the SDO office during the nomination process. This action was taken following a video shared by BJP leader Arjun Singh, urging the Election Commission to intervene.
In the video, Singh highlighted the incident where the Chairman of Naihati Municipality, affiliated with the AITC, arrived at the SDO office in Barrackpore in a police vehicle. The vehicle belonged to the Naihati police station under the Barrackpore City Police, as per Singh’s post on social media.
This suspension is part of a series of actions taken by the Election Commission in West Bengal during the Assembly polls. Previously, four Kolkata Police personnel were suspended for law and order disruption at a BJP candidate’s nomination filing event. Additionally, the Officer-in-Charge of Kasba police station was suspended for not including a criminal’s name in the active criminals list as directed by the Commission.
