Assam Jatiya Parishad’s candidate from Guwahati Central, Kunki Chowdhury, has been called in by city police regarding suspected breaches of election regulations during the April 9 voting. The police issued a notice under the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, instructing Chowdhury to appear for questioning on April 12.
Authorities have raised concerns about Chowdhury’s involvement in reported irregularities during the ongoing investigation into alleged violations of the Model Code of Conduct in the Guwahati Central Assembly constituency. An FIR filed at Panbazar Police Station implicates Chowdhury and her social media team for various infractions, including breaching the 48-hour silence period before voting and engaging in activities that could influence the electoral process.
Chowdhury has been directed to cooperate with the probe, avoid tampering with evidence, and follow all investigative instructions. Failure to comply with the summons may lead to legal repercussions, potentially including arrest. In response, Chowdhury has refuted the accusations, stating that her campaign strictly adhered to Election Commission guidelines and attributing the actions against her to political motives.
