EC Officials Leave Kapurthala House Empty-Handed After Raid at CM Bhagwant Mann’s Residence
Election Commission (EC) officials, along with Delhi Police, conducted a raid at Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann’s official residence, Kapurthala House, in Delhi. However, they left empty-handed after being unable to access the rooms inside.
Returning Officer O.P. Pandey stated that the team had entered Kapurthala House but found all the rooms locked. “Since all rooms were locked, we are returning. Further action will be decided after reviewing the situation at the office,” he said.
Meanwhile, a Punjab Police official revealed that permission was granted for eight people to enter the premises, but they left shortly after going inside.
The raid has sparked political controversy, with CM Bhagwant Mann strongly criticizing the Election Commission and Delhi Police, alleging that they were acting under BJP’s influence to target Punjabis.
