The Supreme Court took serious action after judicial officers were attacked and gheraoed in West Bengal during election roll revision work. The Court called it a “challenge to the authority of this Court” and ordered an independent probe and immediate security deployment.
Mamata Banerjee said the “administration is not in my hand” and alleged a plan to impose President’s Rule after the Supreme Court of India criticised the state over the Malda judicial officers hostage incident. She urged people not to resort to violence and not to obstruct judges during the electoral roll revision process.
