Earlier, on Tuesday, the CRPF conducted a route march in the Bhabanipur Assembly constituency in South Kolkata ahead of the second phase of the West Bengal Assembly elections.

Moreover, CRPF Deputy Commandant Nil Kamal Bharadwaj had noted that personnel have been deployed to patrol all constituencies in Kolkata ahead of the West Bengal Assembly elections.

"A large number of CRPF personnel are patrolling all the constituencies of Kolkata, the routes for public movement from all the polling stations, hyper-sensitive and normal booths... If there were any goons, they have either hidden or changed their location because they are not here..." said Bharadwaj.

The second phase of polling included the high-profile Bhabanipur seat, with Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee contesting from there.

Meanwhile, the main contest in West Bengal in the 2026 Assembly polls is between the incumbent Trinamool Congress seeking to defend its throne for a fourth consecutive term and the resurgent BJP, looking for a historic victory in the state.

The final phase of polling for the high-octane West Bengal assembly elections concluded at 6 PM on Wednesday, with voter turnout hitting remarkable numbers at 90% before the closing hour.

The first phase of polling was held on April 23. The main fight in West Bengal is being seen between the ruling Trinamool Congress and the BJP.

The result for the high-stakes battle will be announced on May 4, along with other states like Tamil Nadu, Keralam, Assam and Puducherry.
