Kolkata, April 9 -- Bhowanipore Constituency has seen its electorate shrink by nearly 25 per cent, with 51,005 voters removed under the SIR, ahead of the high-profile contest between TMC supremo Mamata Banerjee and BJP's Suvendu Adhikari.

A recent study highlights a disproportionate impact on Muslims, who accounted for 40.1 per cent of deletions despite being 20 per cent of the population. The report also shows non-Muslims faced fewer deletions relative to their population. Similar trends were observed in Nandigram, where 95.5 per cent of deleted voters were Muslim.
