The Election Commission suspended Telangana's Director General of Police, Anjani Kumar, for violating the election code of conduct. Kumar met Congress leader Revanth Reddy, a candidate in the ongoing state polls, before results were announced. In a video, Kumar greeted Reddy with a flower bouquet. As the Congress appears headed for victory in Telangana, the EC acted swiftly against Kumar's inappropriate engagement with a contestant ahead of the final outcome. With the party crossing the majority mark, the Congress is set to form its first government in the state. The EC asserted its impartiality by penalizing the state's top cop for prematurely interacting with an eventual winner. (Video Courtesy: ANI)
