A letter sent by Election Commissioners Sukhbir Singh Sandhu and Vivek Joshi to Cabinet Secretary TV Somanathan concerned the functioning of a senior Deputy Election Commissioner, not Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar, a Hindustan Times report said on Sunday. Dated July 29, the letter reportedly raised concerns about an official handling election-related matters. Its contents have not been disclosed publicly and were described as classified by a person familiar with the matter. The Election Commission earlier clarified that the communication was not related to its policy decisions or IT division, but concerned the functioning of an officer on deputation to the poll panel.
