Election Commission suspends Telangana DGP Anjani Kumar for Model Code of Conduct violation

The Election Commission of India has taken action against Telangana's Director General of Police, Anjani Kumar, suspending him for violating the Model Code of Conduct and relevant conduct rules during the 2023 Telangana assembly elections. Kumar, along with other police officials, met with Congress candidate Anumula Revanth Reddy, displaying what was deemed a mala fide intention to seek favour. The DGP's actions were flagged as inappropriate, given the ongoing elections, prompting the Election Commission to enforce disciplinary measures in response to the breach of conduct.
