An analysis of West Bengal's electoral rolls during a Special Intensive Revision reveals unusual deletion patterns, with nearly 4 lakh more women than men removed. Over 850 polling stations showed a disproportionate number of women deleted, suggesting potential gender bias. Other anomalies include unusually high rates of young deaths recorded as a cause for deletion, high overall deletion rates, and suspicious patterns in the "deceased" and "absent" elector categories, with some stations showing gender bias in "permanently shifted" electors.
