Name of protester in 2024 Bangladesh student uprising removed from Bengal's voters list
The Statesman Siliguri
|June 14, 2025
The Chief Electoral Officer (CEO) of West Bengal has removed the name of Newton Das from the voter list, officials said on Friday.
He was seen participating in the 2024 student movement in Bangladesh.
The decision was taken after a thorough investigation by the office of the Chief Electoral Officer (CEO) on the directions of the Election Commission of India (ECI).
Newton Das, having dual citizenship of India and Bangladesh, was a registered voter in the Kakdwip Assembly constituency in the South 24 Parganas district. He was actively involved in the student 'movement' in Bangladesh last year.
Insiders from the CEO's office said the decision to remove Das's name from the voters' list was taken after the election-related senior officials received two consecutive reports from the office of the Kakdwip sub-divisional officer on this count.
