These days, samosa is the talking point in the politics of Himachal Pradesh. According to reports, show cause notice has been issued to five policemen because of samosas. Not only this, but strict disciplinary action has also been recommended against him. Investigation is underway

As per reports, on October 21, Chief Minister Sukhwinder Singh Sukhu went to the CID Headquarters to inaugurate the Cyber ​​Wing Station. However, before serving the samosas and cake to the CM, those delectable were distributed to CM's staff. The investigation revealed that only the SI knew that these boxes were especially for CM Sukhu. When these were handed over to the lady inspector, she did not confirm with any senior officer and distributed to the CM staff and Mechanical Transport (MT) section for breakfast. 

Because of the miscommunication, these boxes got diverted before reaching their rightful person, the investigation said.

The incident led to a full inquiry by a DSP rank oficer. Based on statements from those involved, the CID report indicates that only a sub-inspector was aware that the boxes contained refreshments for the CM. Nevertheless, these boxes, overseen by a woman Inspector, were ultimately passed to the MT section without higher clearance, and the items were inadvertently served to the CM's staff instead. A senior officer, in the report, described this act as an "anti-government" act condemning it as an offence against the intended respect for the VVIP’s presence. The report added that those involved appeared to be "acting according to their own agenda".
