A controversy has erupted in Himachal Pradesh over samosas that apparently went missing from an event attended by state Chief Minister Sukhvinder Singh Sukhu. The event took place at the headquarters of the CID where boxes of snacks meant to be served to the Chief Minister went missing. The row snowballed over allegations that the CID had launched a probe to investigate the case of the missing samosas.
However, officials rejected the allegations, saying that no official probe had been instituted and that it was an “internal matter” that was being blown out of proportion. Sanjeev Ranjan Ojha, the director general of Himachal Pradesh CID, said it was a simple matter of a bunch of officers gathering for tea and wondering where boxes of snacks ordered for the event were.
Ojha said that no “probe” had been launched and all that happened was an appeal being made to find out what had happened to the boxes.
“The Chief Minister was our chief guest for a function. When the function was over, officers were sitting and having tea and someone told that some stuff was brought and what happened to that, just find out. It was just this only, and it is purely an internal matter of the CID. It is sad and unfortunate that it has been blown out of proportion and politicised. It is unfortunate that people who have nothing to do with this are targeted,” Ojha said.
