A 38-year-old assistant professor at the Indian Institute of Management, Calcutta, has found herself removed from the electoral rolls, despite having voted since 2009. The professor, who has previously taught at the institute's branches in Kashipur, Lucknow, and Calcutta, filed an online request to change her address to the Rashbehari constituency. Her name appeared on the draft electoral list published in December but was marked as 'under adjudication' on the final list released on February 28. On March 31, her name was deleted entirely. She claims she was not called for a hearing regarding this change and expressed frustration over the electoral process, stating that the hurried handling of her case reflects a lack of care. The assistant professor has been advised to apply as a new voter, which she contests, asserting her long-standing voting history.
