Election Officials Collect Documents from Amartya Sen's Home for Electoral Roll Revision

Election officials visited Nobel laureate Amartya Sen's ancestral home in Bolpur, West Bengal, to collect documents including his Aadhaar card, voter ID, his late mother's death certificate, and a letter authorizing his cousin to attend a hearing on his behalf. This was part of the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls after a discrepancy was found in Sen's enumeration form linking him to his mother despite a small age difference. Sen, currently a Harvard professor in the US, was issued a notice for a hearing on January 16 at his Santiniketan residence.
