Punjab Bypoll: Election Commission Suspends Tarn Taran SSP Ravjot Kaur Grewal
In a town called Tarn Taran in Punjab, India, there's an election coming up soon.
The main police chief for the area, named Ravjot Kaur Grewal, has been suspended by the election officials.
This happened after a political party, the SAD, complained that the police chief was unfairly targeting their members with false cases to stop them from campaigning.
The election officials didn't say exactly why they suspended her, but it's happening right before the voting day.
Another police officer from a nearby city will temporarily take over her job.
The election is for a seat that became empty because the previous leader passed away.
The Election Commission has suspended Tarn Taran Senior Superintendent of Police (SSP) Ravjot Kaur Grewal.
The suspension comes ahead of the assembly byelection scheduled for November 11.
The Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD) had previously complained against SSP Grewal, accusing her of misusing police power.
