,
The matter came to light when the victim Ravi lodged a complaint with the Chandigarh Crime Branch. The Crime Branch registered an FIR on the basis of evidence after investigation.
The police is now preparing to arrest the mayor and his brother -in -law. If the police arrest the mayor before the election tomorrow, the entire electoral equation can change.
At the same time, if sources are to be believed, AAP can file a petition against the arrest in the High Court before 11 am tomorrow.
This incident has created a stir in the politics of the city, because the new mayor is to be held tomorrow, 30 January.

Let me tell you that this is the first time that a case of corruption has been registered against a sitting mayor in Chandigarh.
Ravi Birla has filed a complaint with Chandigarh Crime Branch.
The complainant said- the deal was done in 75 thousand Ravi complained to SSP window on Tuesday. According to the victim- 1 lakh rupees were sought from him in the name of getting a job on outsourced in the municipal corporation. 75 thousand rupees in cash and after that 35 thousand he gave it online. He handed over the entire record to the police after which a complaint has been filed.
Ahluwalia said- complaint of lies Dr. SS Ahluwalia, the co-interstate of Chandigarh AAP and Chairman of Punjab Water Supply and Sewerage Board, has described the whole matter as a bundle of lies. He has said that wherever the BJP loses elections, there is such false complaint and ends democracy and tries to suppress their voice by putting pressure on honest people.
He said that AAP and his councilors are not afraid of such false complaints. The BJP seems to have a crushing defeat in the mayor’s election. Due to this, the BJP is trying to reduce their enthusiasm by putting pressure on the honest officials of Chandigarh through such false complaints.
Chandigarh was maligned all over the world Dr. Ahluwalia said that during the Chandigarh Municipal Corporation Mayor elections last year too, BJP had tried to pressurize Mayor Kuldeep Kumar, AAP leader Harjinder Bawa and a councilor’s kidnapping complaint, which later proved to be false. Was.
He said that during the Mayor elections last year, the BJP had dismissed Chandigarh all over the world by canceling 8 votes of Mayor Kuldeep Kumar through its nominated councilor and presiding officer Anil Christ. The BJP is once again trying to discredit Chandigarh by making false complaints.
Election equation can change like this The municipal corporation currently has a total of 36 votes. Of these, BJP has 16 votes. Whereas, Congress has 7 votes including MPs and AAP has 13 votes. There is an alliance of AAP and Congress. In such a situation, both have a clear majority with a total of 20 votes.
But, if the police arrests the mayor before voting tomorrow and cross voting during voting, then the BJP can make its mayor. Some councilors of the ruling party are also likely to be absent during voting.
Mayor Tita’s lawyer Ferry Sofat has said that tomorrow morning we will get anticipatory bail from the court. Also, the court will be appealed that the mayor be allowed to join voting.
