The Shiromani Akali Dal Friday demanded the transfer of two senior superintendents of police in the state, claiming that they were "close relatives" of Congress leaders.
They said it was necessary to ensure free and fair elections in the state.
In a complaint to the Punjab Chief Electoral Officer, SAD president's political secretary Charanjit Singh Brar said both the officers Jalandhar Rural SSP Navjot Singh Mahal and Muktsar SSP Manjot Singh Dhesi were allegedly "vitiating the atmosphere by working as per the dictates" of the Congress party and should be transferred immediately.
"Mahal was a relative of Cabinet minister Tript Rajinder Singh Bajwa, Dhesi was a relative of the chief minister's OSD Gurpreet Singh Dhesi," he claimed.
"It seems both the officers have been posted deliberately at these stations with the aim of working against SAD candidates," he further claimed
