During the oath‑taking ceremony at the Bahadurgarh tehsil office, Congress councillors were prevented from swearing in, sparking a confrontation between party workers, a local MLA and the assistant superintendent of police.
The oath‑taking ceremony at the Bahadurgarh tehsil office descended into chaos when officials stopped a group of Congress councillors from taking their oath of office. Party workers claim the tehsil administration, supported by the assistant superintendent of police (ASP), physically barred the councillors, prompting a heated exchange.
A local MLA, identified as a Congress representative, publicly accused the ASP of using undue force and demanded immediate corrective action. The MLA asserted that the councillors were ready to assume their duties and that the obstruction was unwarranted.
Police officials, however, denied any misconduct, stating that the councillors were denied the oath due to procedural irregularities. The incident, reported by regional media, may lead to a review of the oath‑taking protocol and heightened scrutiny of police‑political interactions in the district.
