Framing Analysis
West Bengal Police arrested TMC leader and former Falta candidate Jahangir Khan on June 8, 2026, near the India-Nepal border while he was attempting to leave the country. The arrest followed multiple pending cases involving extortion, intimidation, and poll-related violence. Khan had withdrawn from a May 21 re-poll after the Election Commission cancelled the original April 29 contest; BJP subsequently won the seat by over one lakh votes.
