The Election Commission of India (ECI) has recently made a significant decision regarding the suspension of Telangana's Director General of Police (DGP) Anjani Kumar. Initially suspended due to alleged Model Code of Conduct (MCC) violations during the state assembly election counting, Kumar's reinstatement comes after careful reevaluation.

Anjani Kumar's suspension arose following claims of breaching MCC regulations by meeting Congress leader Revanth Reddy, now the Chief Minister. His visit to Reddy's residence, captured in photographs where pleasantries were exchanged, sparked controversy on social media platforms, raising questions about potential favoritism.

Accompanying Kumar during this meeting were state police officers Sanjay Kumar Jain and Mahesh M Bhagwat. The specificity of Kumar's engagement with Reddy, a prominent campaigner among 2,290 candidates, stirred suspicions of partiality. This focus on one candidate from a specific party among 16 questioned Kumar's impartiality during elections, a crucial aspect of the MCC.

The Election Commission expressed concerns over the impact of such actions on junior officers and the clarity of the MCC's guidelines. Their decision to lift the suspension was based on a thorough assessment of the incident's implications on electoral conduct and the need to uphold fairness and transparency in the electoral process.

This reinstatement emphasizes the ECI's commitment to enforcing and maintaining the integrity of the MCC. It reflects a careful consideration of the circumstances surrounding Kumar's alleged breach, aiming to ensure the adherence of electoral officials to established guidelines for fair and unbiased elections in Telangana.
