The Election Commission of India (ECI) has transferred Circle-Inspector M. Gangireddy on the charges of favouring the ruling YSR Congress Party (YSRCP).
The transfer order came on April 23 (Tuesday), instructing Mr. Gangireddy, who was working with the district election wing, to report to the Police Headquarters immediately.
Mr. Gangireddy, who has served as the Punganur Cirlce-Inspector for long, is facing the charges that he had acted unilaterally during the local bodies elections in 2019 and threatened the candidates belonging to the opposition parties, making them withdraw their nominations. The YSRCP cadres had torn down the nomination papers of other candidates allegedly in his presence.
