Staff of Delhi CM’s Office Detained with ₹5 Lakh Cash Night Before Polling
The night before the crucial Delhi Assembly elections, the Delhi Police have made a shocking discovery that has sent shockwaves across the political landscape. Two employees of Chief Minister Atishi’s office were detained by the police after a massive sum of ₹5 lakh cash was recovered from their possession. This development has raised serious questions about the involvement of the ruling party in the electoral process and has further muddied the already murky waters of Delhi politics.
According to sources, the police received a tip-off about two individuals carrying a large sum of cash and subsequently, a Flying Squad Team was dispatched to the spot to apprehend them. When the police team reached the location, they found the two employees, who were later identified as being part of the Delhi Chief Minister’s office, in possession of the cash.
The police have confirmed that the two employees were detained and a case has been registered against them. The motive behind the detention and the purpose of the cash recovered from their possession are still unclear, but the timing of the incident has raised eyebrows.
This development comes just a day after a case was filed against a supporter of Chief Minister Atishi for allegedly slapping a policeman on duty. The incident has sparked widespread outrage and has raised concerns about law and order in the city.
The Delhi Police have been under intense scrutiny in the run-up to the elections, with allegations of partisan politics and corruption surfacing left and right. The detention of the two employees of the Chief Minister’s office has added fuel to the fire and has further eroded the trust of the people in the police.
The Delhi Assembly elections are being held on Wednesday, and the stakes are high. The ruling Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) is seeking to retain power, while the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) is looking to make a comeback. The Congress Party, meanwhile, is hoping to regain its lost ground.
The detention of the two employees of the Chief Minister’s office has raised questions about the involvement of the ruling party in the electoral process. The opposition parties have already begun to cry foul, accusing the AAP of using illegal means to influence the outcome of the elections.
The Delhi Police, however, have maintained that the detention of the two employees was a routine exercise and that the cash recovered from their possession was not linked to the elections. The police have also denied any partisan bias and have claimed that the action was taken based on a tip-off about illegal activities.
While the police may have their version of the story, the timing of the incident has raised suspicions. The detention of the two employees of the Chief Minister’s office comes just a day before the elections, and many are wondering whether this is a desperate attempt by the AAP to influence the outcome of the polls.
The Indian National Congress has already jumped into the fray, demanding an investigation into the incident. Congress leader and former Chief Minister of Delhi, Sheila Dikshit, has accused the AAP of using illegal means to win the elections.
“This is a clear case of electoral malpractice and the Delhi Police must take immediate action to investigate the incident,” Dikshit said. “The AAP is leaving no stone unturned to win the elections, and this incident is a clear example of their desperation.”
The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has also joined the chorus, demanding a thorough investigation into the incident. BJP leader and former Chief Minister of Delhi, Harsh Vardhan, has accused the AAP of indulging in corrupt practices.
“This is a clear case of corruption and the Delhi Police must take swift action to bring the perpetrators to justice,” Vardhan said. “The AAP has no moral right to seek power when they are indulging in such illegal activities.”
As the Delhi Assembly elections are just hours away, the detention of the two employees of the Chief Minister’s office has thrown a spanner in the works. The incident has raised serious questions about the involvement of the ruling party in the electoral process and has further muddied the already murky waters of Delhi politics.
The Delhi Police must ensure that a thorough investigation is conducted into the incident and that those found guilty are brought to justice. The people of Delhi deserve nothing but the best, and it is the responsibility of the police to ensure that the elections are free and fair.
