The Election Commission of India (ECI) has instructed Andhra Pradesh’s Director General of Police (DGP), Harish Kumar Gupta, to take disciplinary action against Nandyal’s Superintendent of Police (SP), Raghuveer Reddy, for his failure to enforce the Model Code of Conduct in the Nandyal constituency. Additionally, the ECI has directed an internal inquiry against Sub-Divisional Police Officer (SDPO) Ravindranth Reddy and Circle Inspector (CI) Raja Reddy.
The DGP has been given a deadline of 7 pm today to report back to the EC regarding the actions taken against these three police officials. The directive comes after Tollywood actor Allu Arjun conducted a rally in the Nandyal constituency without obtaining permission, and despite the imposition of Section 144 in the area, the police officials failed to control the situation.
