NEW DELHI: Special observers Ajay V Nayak and Vivek Dube have, in their joint report to the Election Commission on the recent incident in Nandigram that had left chief minister Mamata Banerjee injured, stated that there were no significant pointers to suggest any pre-meditated or planned attack on her convoy.
However, based on a joint report of the East Midnapore’s district magistrate and superintendent of police (SP) and available video footage of the incident, they concluded that there was a lack of coordination between security arrangements by the police headquarters and local SP due to frequent changes to the chief minister’s tour programme, no approval was taken from returning officer for the place where the incident happened and there was a blatant disregard of security protocols.
