The ruling JMM in Jharkhand has written to the Election Commission demanding the removal of Chief Electoral Officer K Ravi Kumar and two senior IPS officers, alleging that they were working in favour of the BJP. Elections to the 81-member Jharkhand assembly are scheduled on November 13 and November 20. “Giridih police today intercepted a vehicle carrying Mandal Murmu, one of the proposers of Jharkhand Chief Minister Hemant Soren who has filed his nomination from the Barhait assembly constituency, along with some other persons.
When asked, the people on board did not reply as to where they were going. So, the police detained the vehicle,” JMM spokesperson Supriyo Bhattacharya said on Sunday. “Chief Electoral Officer K Ravi Kumar and two senior IPS officials, misusing their official position, put undue pressure on the Giridih administration to release the vehicle,” he alleged.

It said that just transferring her to the hospital will not address the severe health issues caused by months of neglect and deprivation.
