EC Clarifies Dev Summon: Blank Form Section Led to SIR Hearing, Not Harassment

• Election Commission clarified MP-actor Dev was summoned for a SIR hearing due to a blank section in his and his family's enumeration forms regarding a 2002 link.
• The ruling party had earlier alleged harassment of the three-time MP, but the EC has now provided a clear reason for the summons.
• Dev, along with his mother, father, and sister, is scheduled to attend the hearing at Katjunagar High School in Jadavpur on January 14.
• Dev stated he is an Indian citizen and will abide by the country's laws, expressing no personal objection to the summons.
