The Election Commission of India (ECI) has directed the Jharkhand State Government to remove Anurag Gupta from his position as the Acting Director General of Police (DGP) with immediate effect. This decision comes ahead of the upcoming Jharkhand Assembly elections, scheduled to take place in 25 days. The removal was ordered due to a history of complaints against Gupta in previous elections, raising concerns about potential bias. The ECI has instructed the state government to hand over charge to the senior most DGP level officer available in the cadre.
