On 2026-04-22, the Calcutta High Court stayed the Election Commission of India’s move to arrest alleged “troublemakers” on a large scale ahead of the first phase of West Bengal assembly elections. The court directed that any preventive arrest must follow the rule of law and said it was initially wrong to identify people as troublemakers and arrest them en masse.
