DGP Gaurav Yadav met the Election Commission for nearly an hour. Officials questioned him on allegations of police interference during the by-election. Opposition leaders claimed that some security personnel influenced the voting process and created pressure at certain polling locations.
Sources said the Election Commission wants clarity on the role of district-level officers. The panel also asked for detailed reports from the Tarn Taran administration to evaluate the sequence of events on polling day.
