Flying squad head suspended for laxity

The Hindu  

Geetha, the head of a flying squad team, has been suspended for being lax in checking the cavalcade of DMK candidate A. Raja at an inter-State checkpoint in the Nilgiris. Chief Electoral Officer Satyabrata Sahoo said Ms. Geetha was suspended based on the media reports and a subsequent inquiry conducted by the Returning Officer for the Nilgiris, as also by the Expenditure Observer. He said the Election Commission of India has taken a serious note of the soft approach towards a prominent candidate. “All political parties and candidates will be dealt with firmly, if found to be violating the Model Code of Conduct guidelines issued by ECI for a level playing field in ensuring free and fair elections,” he warned.
