Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) on Tuesday accused Punjab police chief Suresh Arora of “complicity” with Deputy Chief Minister Sukhbir Badal in “promoting his political interests” and demanded his immediate transfer.
“Arora, who was recently divested of his charge of Chief Director Vigilance, would influence the election process if allowed to continue as the head of the police force and would defeat the whole purpose of the poll panel,” said AAP state convener Gurpreet Singh Ghuggi.
Ghuggi, along with AAP’s Human Rights wing chief Navkiran Singh, demanded the Election Commission of India to transfer the state Director General of Police (DGP) “without further delay” for free and fair elections.
