Assam minister Ashok Singhal has rejected claims linking him to a Personal Security Officer (PSO) named in a woman’s complaint lodged at the Paltan Bazar Police Outpost.
In a statement posted on X, Singhal said the individual mentioned in media reports was neither his PSO nor had ever been appointed or engaged by him in any capacity.
Terming the allegation connecting the individual to him “entirely baseless”, the minister urged people not to be misled by what he described as misinformation or attempts to create a false impression.
Singhal expressed confidence that an impartial investigation would establish the facts and bring the truth to light.
His clarification followed reports that a woman had filed a complaint against a PSO, alleging that the individual was associated with the minister. However, Singhal’s statement did not specify the nature of the complaint or detail the allegations against the individual.
