Overview
- Chowdhury, who appeared Sunday after a BNSS Section 35(3) summons, recorded a statement at Panbazar Police Station and said the probe will run its course.
- An FIR filed Thursday, April 9, on a complaint by BJP activist Naba Kumar Lahkar names Chowdhury and campaign manager Sandeep Yadav and alleges violations on polling day including activity during the 48‑hour silence period, entry into a booth with a group, vehicles inside restricted zones, and a personal security officer inside polling premises.
- Police say they have digital and video material to review, and hours after the Thursday polling they detained three members of her campaign team in connection with the case.
- Chowdhury denies wrongdoing and calls the case political, and the AJP has complained to the Chief Electoral Officer of Assam alleging harassment by police.
- The notice relies on the new BNSS, which lets police order someone to appear for questioning, and the alleged breaches involve Election Commission rules that bar last‑minute canvassing and the presence of outside workers near booths, while her separate April 4 deepfake complaint remains pending.
