A Booth Level Officer (BLO) in West Bengal's Murshidabad district died by suicide, allegedly due to immense work pressure from the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls. His wife filed a complaint naming a local TMC worker, Bullet Khan, accusing him of threats and failing to repay a loan, leading to his arrest. While family and some political figures linked the death to SIR workload, police investigations are focusing on the loan default. This incident follows reports of several other BLO deaths attributed to SIR-related stress.
