Chandigarh, March 30, 2019: Taking strict notice of a fabricated complaint against two senior Punjab officers, Chief Electoral Officer (CEO), Punjab, Dr S Karuna Raju has ordered police action against the anonymous complainant.
The CEO told babushahi.com that the complaint typed in English on the letter pad of Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD) showing the party president Sukhbir Singh Badal as the complainan was received to the Chief Election Commissioner of India and the CEO, Punjab on March 13, 2019.
It was alleged in the complaint that since senior IAS officers Hussan Lal and Ajoy Sharma violated the Model Code of Conduct, so action should be taken against them.
When the election commission enquired from the office of SAD, the party clarified that neither any such complaint was officially made nor the letter pad was genuinely of the party. The SAD representative Charanjit Singh Brar replied to the CEO, Punjab that their party had nothing to do with this complaint and demanded action against the anonymous complaint who fraudulently used the name of SAD.
Dr Raju said that acting tough on this, the DGP, Punjab has been directed to thoroughly probe the matter and take necessary action.
