West Bengal Governor C.V. Ananda Bose on Tuesday (December 23, 2025) ordered an inquiry into an incident involving the firing of a starter gun during the flagging-off of a marathon run in the city on December 21, a senior official at the Lok Bhavan said.
An inquiry committee has been asked to assess the matter from multiple angles, the official said.
The order followed a report submitted by the Aide-de-Camp on duty, Major Nikhil Kumar, which stated that the starter gun had been arranged by the event organisers.
According to the report, the Governor followed all prescribed safety instructions while firing the gun, the official said.
It also noted that minor splinters or particle-like fragments were emitted from the starter gun upon firing, but confirmed that no injury was caused to the Governor or anyone else present at the venue.
