On April 4, 2026, the Election Commission of India suspended four police officers for failing to ensure law and order during a roadshow for Suvendu Adhikari, the Leader of Opposition in West Bengal, on April 2, 2026. The officers suspended include Siddartha Dutta, Priyankar Chakraborty, Chandi Charan Banerjee, and Saurabh Chatterjee. This action follows a report from Manoj Kumar Agarwal, the Chief Electoral Officer of West Bengal, highlighting the officers' negligence during the event, which saw clashes between supporters of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and the Trinamool Congress. The Election Commission directed that disciplinary proceedings be initiated immediately, with a compliance report due by 11:00 AM on April 5, 2026. In addition to the suspensions, two police officers received show-cause notices for their roles in the chaos. The situation escalated when Home Minister Amit Shah joined Adhikari during the nomination filing, leading to confrontations as BJP supporters shouted slogans while Trinamool Congress workers responded with counter-slogans. Meanwhile, former Kolkata Police Commissioner Supratim Sarkar has requested an exemption from a transfer order to serve as a police observer in Tamil Nadu, citing medical emergencies.
