Election Commission Orders FIRs Against Bengal Officials Over Electoral Roll Errors

The Election Commission has ordered the registration of First Information Reports (FIRs) against five West Bengal government officials and a data entry operator. This action stems from incorrect entries made to electoral rolls, with the Commission citing failure to perform statutory duties and violation of data security policies. The state government had previously resisted registering FIRs, opting for suspension and removal from duty, but the Commission has reiterated its directive to district election officers.
