A booth-level officer (BLO) was found dead in Mukundapur on Thursday morning. The family of the deceased, however, did not lodge any complaint till late on Thursday evening, sources said. However, neither the wife of the deceased nor her family members could be reached to confirm the allegations. “He was a BLO in polling station number 110 at Chitkalikapur FP School at Purba Jadavpur,” said an officer of Kolkata Police. Please speak to the other BLOs to check if I had put pressure on them in any way.
