This report focuses on the escalating tension between the Mamata Banerjee-led West Bengal government and the Election Commission of India over the Special Information Revision (SIR) exercise. The state government has claimed that Kolkata is ‘infiltrator-mukt’ (free of infiltrators), asserting that no illegal voters were identified in South Kolkata. According to preliminary data cited in the bulletin, only 11,472 voters have been marked as illegal, with the majority—over 9,000—located in the Nadia district. The Trinamool Congress (TMC) has accused the Election Commission of harassing citizens through this exercise. Simultaneously, a legal battle has reached the Calcutta High Court following Enforcement Directorate (ED) raids on the IPAC office. The ED alleges that Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee ‘forcefully removed the digital devices and the documents’ during the search, while the TMC contends the raids are politically motivated and violate constitutional rights. The High Court is set to hear the petitions today via live-streamed proceedings.
