The Election Commission of India (ECI) has summoned the Punjab Director General of Police (DGP) on November 25 in connection with the registration of nine FIRs against Shiromani Akali Dal workers during the Tarn Taran bypoll campaign.

EC sources told the Tribune that the summons follows the commission’s review of a report submitted by the DGP on November 13, a day before the bypoll results were declared.

The FIRs were allegedly registered in a “coordinated manner” at four locations across Punjab — Tarn Taran, Amritsar, Moga, and Batala.

Punjab Police, through the DGP, had submitted a confidential sealed report prepared by ADGP Ram Singh to the ECI, which reportedly justified the actions of former Tarn Taran SSP Ravjot Kaur Grewal, who was suspended by the poll body on November 8.
