Malda Gherao: Judicial Officers Warned DM of Security Breach Days Before Incident

West Bengal polls, especially with the publication of the supplementary voters’ list approaching.

The officers, who were overseeing electoral roll revisions for the Mothabari constituency, feared a possible security breach from “disgruntled local elements” whose names had been deleted during the revision process. They also requested relocation of their office to ensure safety—but days later, the situation escalated into a gherao.

This report sheds light on the warning signs, the response of authorities, and the larger implications for election security in West Bengal.
