Tribune News Service

Mohali, July 16 

While the Mohali police are yet to take action on the complaint of Municipal Commissioner Uma Shankar Gupta against Deputy Mayor Manjit Singh Sethi, the latter lodged a counter police complaint against Gupta today. 

In his complaint, sent to Punjab Chief Minister Parkash Singh Badal and Mohali SSP GS Bhullar, Sethi accused Gupta and MC Superintendent Manoj Kumar of cheating, preparing forged documents and hatching criminal conspiracy against him. 

“The MC Commissioner along with Kumar has conspired to defame me as I had sent him a legal notice on the issue of an MC Superintendent resigning a few days ago. In my complaint, I have exposed the wrongdoings of Gupta,” alleged Sethi. 

It is to be noted that after ruckus and ‘war of words’ between Gupta and Sethi during the MC House meeting yesterday, the MC Commissioner had sent a police complaint to the Mohali SSP, alleging threat to him, manhandling and obstruction in performing official duty against Sethi. 

Mohali SP Gursewak Singh, said he was yet to receive the Deputy Mayor’s complaint.  “We are looking into the complaint of the MC Commissioner. The required action will be taken,” he said.
