Trinamool Congress Demands Suspension of IPS 'Singham' Officer Over Alleged Rigging in West Bengal's Falta Constituency

Trinamool Congress leader Kunal Ghosh has demanded the suspension of IPS officer Ajay Pal Sharma, nicknamed 'Singham', over alleged massive rigging in West Bengal's Falta Assembly constituency. The Election Commission has ordered a complete repoll in all 285 polling stations on May 21, citing severe electoral offences and subversion of democratic process during the April 29 polling. The EC's detailed order revealed that initial scrutiny was deeply flawed, relying primarily on paperwork while failing to thoroughly examine complaints and review video footage. The BJP had alleged that party symbols on EVMs were taped over at several booths.

IPS 'Singham' vs TMC 'Pushpa': High-Octane Bengal Constituency Polling Ends Without Face-Off

In Falta constituency of South 24 Parganas, the much-hyped confrontation between IPS officer Ajay Pal Sharma (labelled 'Singham') and TMC candidate Jahangir Khan ('Pushpa') failed to materialize on polling day. Sharma traversed the constituency in a 10-vehicle convoy while Khan remained stationed in his 'control room'. EVM complaints were received—32 in Falta (20 verified), with a repoll ordered. Across Bengal, 77 complaints were filed. The encounter specialist from UP was deployed as the Election Commission's police observer, while Khan declared 'Pushpa will grow stronger'.

UP IPS Officer Warns Voter Intimidation in West Bengal's Falta Constituency
