This unfolding controversy adds a dramatic layer to the Ludhiana West electoral battle

SSP Vigilance Officer Suspended After Summoning Bharat Bhushan Ashu Latest News: In a major political and administrative twist just ahead of the Ludhiana West bypolls, the Punjab government has suspended the SSP Vigilance officer who had issued a summons to senior Congress leader Bharat Bhushan Ashu. This development has effectively halted Ashu's appearance before the Vigilance Bureau, which was scheduled for today.

According to top government sources, a preliminary investigation has revealed disturbing allegations suggesting that the summons may have been orchestrated by Ashu himself in a strategic attempt to garner public sympathy before the bypoll. Sources indicate that there was direct and frequent communication between Ashu and the suspended SSP, with evidence pointing to a deeper personal and professional relationship between the two.

It is also being alleged that Ashu played a key role in the officer’s earlier appointment as Deputy Superintendent of Police (DSP), raising serious questions about conflict of interest and political interference. A secret meeting between Ashu and Officer Jagatpreet Singh reportedly took place just days before the official election announcement, adding fuel to the controversy.

Further scrutiny of the case revealed that the summons was issued in an unusual and hurried manner—overnight and without any official procedural documentation or approval—raising red flags within the Vigilance Bureau and prompting internal review.

Political observers suggest this incident could significantly impact the dynamics of the Ludhiana West bypoll, where Ashu is a key contender. The opposition has already begun questioning the credibility of the Congress campaign and demanding a wider probe into the alleged misuse of government machinery.

Meanwhile, the Punjab Vigilance Bureau has stated that it is re-evaluating the circumstances under which the summons was issued and that further action will follow based on the outcome of the ongoing inquiry.

This unfolding controversy adds a dramatic layer to the Ludhiana West electoral battle and puts a spotlight on the growing entanglement between politics and law enforcement in Punjab.
