Congress MP Mahua Moitra filed a police complaint against the Central Election Commission (CEC) at a Delhi police station on Thursday. The complaint alleges procedural irregularities in the functioning of the CEC and seeks a First Information Report (FIR) to be registered against the commission. Moitra stated that the complaint is a formal step to ensure accountability and transparency in the electoral process. The CEC has not yet issued a response to the filing, and no comment has been made by its officials. This marks the first time a sitting politician has taken legal action against the CEC, drawing attention to the scrutiny of electoral bodies in India.
