Punjab Bypoll Disruption: Tarn Taran SSP Removed by EC

The Election Commission of India (ECI) has suspended Tarn Taran Senior Superintendent of Police (SSP) Dr. Ravjot Kaur Grewal, a move linked to alleged interference in the November 11 Punjab assembly byelection. Amritsar Police Commissioner Gurpreet Singh Bhullar will now hold the additional charge of Tarn Taran SSP. The ECI’s decision follows concerns over Dr. Grewal’s actions potentially impacting the impartiality of the election. This suspension underscores the commission’s authority to take stringent measures against officials found to be undermining the electoral process. The appointment of Mr. Bhullar aims to ensure that the byelection proceeds without further disruption and in a fair manner.
