After actor Dev, former Trinamool Congress MP Mimi Chakraborty has now been summoned for a Special Inquiry Report (SIR) hearing concerning discrepancies in her voter registration details. These hearings are conducted to correct any inconsistencies in the electoral rolls, ensuring that voter information is accurate and up to date.
Authorities identified minor mismatches in Mimi’s voter card and electoral records, prompting an official notice for her to appear in person to verify the details. She has been asked to attend the hearing at the administrative office in New Market, Kasba, on 31 January 2026.
Tollywood celebrities have increasingly found themselves receiving such notices in recent weeks as part of routine electoral roll verification. Earlier, actor Dev and actress Soumitrisha Kundu were summoned for similar reasons. Most recently, actress Manali Dey was called in due to a spelling error in her father’s name on her voter card. Mimi now joins this list of stars required to undergo the verification process.
Since stepping down from her parliamentary position ahead of the 2024 Lok Sabha elections, Mimi has dedicated herself entirely to her acting career. Nevertheless, she has expressed her commitment as a responsible citizen to attend the hearing and rectify any inaccuracies in her voter documentation.
She stated: “I will certainly attend the hearing on the 31st. I will carry all the documents that have been requested of me.”
Such SIR hearings are typically conducted before upcoming general or by-elections, allowing the Election Commission to maintain flawless electoral rolls. Public figures, like ordinary citizens, are subject to this verification process to prevent false or erroneous entries.
Mimi has made it clear that she has no intention of returning to politics, having formally resigned from her parliamentary seat. Professionally, she remains focused on her film career, with her latest release, ‘Bhanupriya Bhuter Hotel’, premiering on 23 January 2026.
