New Delhi: The Election Commission (EC) has directed that DCP Rajesh Deo will not be assigned any work in relation to the February 8 Delhi Assembly Elections.
The rap by the EC comes after Deo, following an incident of firing at Shaheen Bagh protests, had made comments saying that the accused and his father had joined a political party a year ago.
The EC has directed that Deo will not be allocated any related work.
Also, a warning will be issued to Deo communicating the displeasure of the commission on his conduct and a copy of the same will be placed in his CR dossier.
“The Commission has considered the matter in detail and is of the considered view that the above-referred statements referring to a political party at this stage even as the investigation is still going on has the effect of adversely impacting the elections. This action was totally uncalled for. The conduct on the part of Rajesh Deo has consequences on the holding of free and fair elections,” the poll panel said in a letter to the Delhi Police commissioner. (Agencies)
