ECI Registers Complaint Against Former Nagaon DC Amid Inquiry Request by MPPreviousNext

The Election Commission of India (ECI) has registered a complaint against former Nagaon District Commissioner Devasish Sharma following allegations of administrative irregularities and concerns over his political ambitions ahead of the Nagaon Lok Sabha bye-election. Congress MP Rakibul Hussain has urged the ECI to conduct an independent, comprehensive, and time-bound inquiry into Sharma's conduct during his tenure, emphasizing that Sharma's voluntary retirement should not preclude scrutiny. The inquiry aims to ensure the neutrality and credibility of the electoral process.
