Two women corporators from the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC), one each from the All India Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen (AIMIM) and the Nationalist Congress Party (NCP), have been disqualified after their caste validity certificates were declared invalid by district verification committees.

Mumbai mayor Ritu Tawde announced the disqualification during a civic meeting, bringing the total number of disqualified corporators in the 227-member BMC to four within a month.

Roshan Shaikh (AIMIM) and Bushra Nadeem Malik (NCP) were elected under the Other Backward Classes (OBC) women category but faced disqualification after their certificates were invalidated.

Shaikh's certificate, submitted on November 23, 2025, was rejected by the Parbhani District Committee on April 27, 2026, while Malik's certificate, submitted on December 1, 2025, was rejected by the Akola District Committee on July 2, 2026.

This action follows similar disqualifications of two other corporators earlier in the month, reducing AIMIM's BMC strength to five and NCP's to two.

The disqualifications highlight ongoing scrutiny of caste certificates in civic elections, raising questions about electoral validity and administrative transparency.
