SIT likely to submit report on poll violence in Andhra Pradesh to ECI on May 20

The Special Investigation Team (SIT) constituted to probe into the poll-related violence in Andhra Pradesh is likely to submit its report to the Election Commission of India (ECI) on May 20 (Monday).

The State government transferred Palnadu Collector and Tirupati Superintendent of Police (SP), while the SPs of Palnadu and Anantapur districts and 12 police officers were suspended. The government formed the SIT to probe into the violence.

The ECI, which took stock of the situation in the State from Chief Secretary K.S. Jawahar Reddy and Director General of Police Harish Kumar Gupta a few days ago, has directed the government to submit a report on the violence that occurred after the elections within 48 hours.
