According to a May 6 communication of the Election Commission, the complaints pertained to the holding of multiple charges by Haryana chief secretary TVSN Prasad who also is administrative secretary of home and revenue departments. The officer has also complained about holding multiple charges of inspector general, Ambala range, Sibash Kabiraj and commissioner of police, Sonepat, Sateesh Balan.
