‘Complete breakdown of law & order in Bengal’: SC after judicial officers were held hostage for hours over SIR deletion
The Supreme Court ordered a CBI probe into the Malda incident where seven judicial officers were held hostage by voters protesting name deletions from electoral rolls. Show-cause notices were issued to top West Bengal officials for “abdication of duty” and “inaction,” with the court deeming the event a “calculated and motivated” attempt to disrupt the electoral process.
