A 43-year-old homemaker who had consumed pesticide after finding that her name was listed as “under adjudication” in the preliminary “final” electoral roll died at the Malda Medical College and Hospital (MMCH) on Monday evening. The final roll had been published by the Election Commission on Saturday. “After discovering that her name was still under adjudication, she broke down and consumed poison on Sunday,” the relative alleged. The BJP has unfortunately influenced the EC,” Hossain said while visiting the victim’s home. However, all those who were summoned for hearings have been marked under adjudication in the final electoral roll,” he said.
