Overview
- The Election Commission, which acted Sunday, suspended Kasba police station chief Biswajit Debnath for leaving alleged gangster Sona Pappu off a required offenders list.
- The step enforces election orders that told every station to list absconders, execute non-bailable warrants within 10 days, and flag trouble spots.
- ED officers searched Sona Pappu’s home Wednesday and seized about Rs 2 crore in cash, a high-end car, and property papers.
- Police link Sona Pappu to a recent clash with bombs near Gol Park in south Kolkata, and he remains untraced.
- The Commission also ordered a citywide reshuffle of station chiefs, moving OCs across Park Street, Hare Street, Thakurpukur and Chetla after recent law-and-order flare-ups.
