DMK today appealed to the Election Commission to transfer Chennai Police Commissioner S George to ensure "free and fair" poll to the R K Nagar Assembly Constituency on April 12 here.

"If he is allowed to continue as Police Commissioner, the Constitutional mandate of conducting free and fair election would be defeated," DMK Organisation Secretary R S Bharathi claimed.

In a memorandum to Chief Election Commissioner Nasim Zaidi, he alleged that the commissioner is "publicly known," for his "biased and partisan attitude," in favour of the ruling AIADMK.

He alleged "unholy nexus," between George and the ruling party.

In January, DMK working president M K Stalin had demanded transfer of George for alleged failure in handling the pro-jallikattu protests.
