The Election Commission (EC) has summoned West Bengal Chief Secretary Manoj Pant to its Delhi office on August 13, 2025, at 3 PM. The summons follows a directive issued on August 5, 2025, ordering the suspension and FIRs against two Assistant Electoral Registration Officers, two Electoral Registration Officers, and a data entry operator. These officials are implicated in the unlawful addition of multiple names to the voter lists of the Baruipur and Moyna constituencies. The EC also instructed Manoj Pant to initiate departmental proceedings against the involved officials.
