In a shocking incident, the EVMs and VVPATs were found at the residence of a TMC leader in Uluberia at Howrah district of West Bengal amid Assembly elections.
According to Election Commission of India (ECI), "The Sector Officer has been suspended in the matter.

The Sector Police attached to Sector Officer has also been directed to be suspended.
The said EVM and VVPAT have been taken out of the stock and shall not be used in the polls.
