AAP today accused Punjab DGP Suresh Arora of "complicity" with Deputy Chief Minister Sukhbir Singh Badal in "promoting his political interests" and demanded his immediate transfer.

"Arora, who was recently divested of his charge of Chief Director Vigilance, would influence the election process if allowed to continue as the head of the police force and would defeat the whole purpose of the poll panel," AAP state convener Gurpreet Singh Ghuggi claimed.

Ghuggi along with AAP's human rights wing chief Navkiran Singh demanded the Election Commission of India to transfer the DGP "without further delay" for free and fair elections.

"Arora was not only serving his political masters in the SAD-BJP combine government, but also instrumental in clearing the charges of corruption against Punjab Congress chief Amarinder Singh at the behest of Sukhbir," Navkiran claimed.
 

"Arora had submitted a plea in the trial court seeking cancellation of the vigilance charge sheet against Amarinder. Both Sukhbir and Amarinder are hand in glove and using the DGP for mutual benefits," Navkiran charged.
