In an unprecedented development, West Bengal Assembly Marshal Debabrata Mukherjee has been suspended, marking the first time in the history of the State Legislative Assembly that a marshal has faced such disciplinary action. The suspension comes after several Members of the Legislative Assembly (MLAs) lodged formal complaints regarding his improper and unethical behavior.
A written order for his removal was issued by the Assembly Secretariat on Tuesday. According to Assembly and official sources, multiple allegations of misconduct had been raised against Mukherjee, specifically highlighting irresponsible conduct and misbehavior toward elected representatives.
Concerns regarding his conduct escalated during a recent orientation and training camp organized for MLAs in the Assembly, which was conducted under the leadership of Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla. It is alleged that Mukherjee failed to discharge his duties responsibly even during this high-profile event. A formal departmental inquiry has been initiated against him, and official sources indicate that further administrative actions will depend on the findings of the inquiry report.
