MLA Criminal Records
Every Case Declared by Every Elected MLA. Self-Reported. Sworn. Public. প্রতিটি নির্বাচিত বিধায়কের ঘোষিত মামলা। স্ব-ঘোষিত। শপথকৃত। সর্বজনীন।
All data self-declared by candidates in sworn affidavits submitted to the ECI. A declared case is an FIR or chargesheet — not a conviction. Clean record means zero declared pending cases, not necessarily zero past issues.
Party-wise Criminal Case Profile
A declared criminal case is a pending FIR, chargesheet, or court summons — not a conviction. Under Indian law, every accused is presumed innocent until proven guilty. This data reflects candidates' own sworn disclosures and is published here in the public interest under the Supreme Court's right-to-know doctrine (PUCL v. Union of India, 2003).

Data Sources & Methodology
Primary source: Nomination affidavits filed by winning candidates with the Election Commission of India, West Bengal 2026 assembly election. Affidavits are public documents available on the ECI's Affidavit Disclosure portal and the MyNeta portal maintained by ADR India.
What "cases" means: Each affidavit requires candidates to disclose (a) pending criminal cases where a court has taken cognisance, (b) cases where chargesheets have been filed, and (c) cases pending trial. Acquitted cases, withdrawn cases, and cases under appeal are handled differently — this table reflects only pending cases as declared.
"Serious/Heinous" flag: The Election Commission categorises certain IPC sections as serious — including murder (302), attempt to murder (307), rape (376), kidnapping (363/364), robbery/dacoity (392–402), and offences punishable with 5+ years. This flag is set where affidavits disclose cases under these sections.
Asset figures: Self-declared total assets (movable + immovable) from the same affidavit. These are declared values, not independently verified.
Data status: Affidavit data for all 294 winning MLAs is being compiled from ECI/ADR India records published post-election. Rows marked with * are pending full affidavit verification. This table will be updated as data is confirmed.
To update: Edit the MLA_DATA array in the <script> tag. Each object documents its own fields. Add a row, save — the table re-renders automatically.
