The Election Commission on Friday eliminated an IAS officer from election obligation after he shared his posting as General Observer on social media.


“Now, it has come to the notice of the Commission that Sh. Abhishek Singh, IAS (UP:2011) has used social media platform “Instagram” for sharing his posting/joining as General Observer and used his official position as a publicity stunt,” the EC mentioned in its order.

The Commission has taken a really severe view of the matter and due to this fact, Abhishek Singh, IAS (UP:2011) has been relieved instantly of his duties as General Observer and has been debarred from any election-related obligation until additional orders, the Commission mentioned.

Earlier, the Commission had appointed Singh as General Observer for Assembly Constituency 49-Bapunagar and 56-Asarwa of Ahmedabad District of Gujarat.
