The Election Commission has suspended 106 government employees in the Siddipet district of Telangana for allegedly attending a BRS meeting in violation of the model code of conduct.
Official sources on Tuesday said a large number of government employees attended the meeting at a function hall on April 7 night.
Based on a complaint from the BJP, a flying squad of election officials visited the meeting venue. On seeing the flying squad, many employees fled from the spot.
They were later identified by perusing CCTV footage.
District Collector M Manu Choudary, who is the district election officer, issued orders late on Monday night suspending 106 employees, the sources added.
