Row in Himachal over who ate CM's samosas
The New Indian Express
|November 09, 2024
TRUST the fluffy samosas! If left in the wrong hands, they can turn into real hot potatoes. It so happened that some of the samosas were kept for Himachal Pradesh Chief Minister Sukhvinder Singh Sukhu during a function associated with the state Crime Investigation Department (CID) on October 21.
They were, instead, served to his security staff!
Over a fortnight later, the hotchpotch over who they were meant for left an unsavory taste for cops on duty. A probe by the state Crime Investigation Department (CID) termed it an "anti-government" act, resulting in show-cause notices to five police personnel, including a woman inspector.
The BJP has hit out at the Congress-led government for "ordering an inquiry into missing samosas" and turning a blind eye to the cases that warrant attention. The CID tried to downplay the incident, saying the samosa gaffe was an internal matter.
