Chandigarh: The Election Commission of India (ECI) has taken the significant step of suspending Dr. Ravjot Kaur Grewal, Senior Superintendent of Police (SSP) of Tarn Taran, just days before the Assembly by-election on November 11.
The suspension comes at a critical time as the district prepares for the polling process. The ECI has not yet released detailed reasons for the move, but the action is seen as part of measures to ensure free and fair elections in the constituency.
Officials said arrangements are being made to manage law and order in Tarn Taran ahead of the by-poll, with temporary police leadership to oversee security at polling stations.
Further updates from the Election Commission regarding the circumstances of the suspension are expected in the coming days. The by-election results are slated for November 14, 2025.
