The Election Commission of India is examining the reply of West Bengal Home department on a BJP complaint that two Kolkata Police personnel allegedly tried to bribe its national secretary Rahul Sinha in return for help to smuggle out cattle to Bangladesh.

"We have received the reports from the Home secretary and sent it to the Election Commission of India for their consideration," Deputy chief electoral officer Amitjyoti Bhattacharya said.

They had sought a factual report with all the details from Home secretary yesterday after Sinha complained before the Chief Electoral Officer.

Subhasish Ray Choudhury, an ASI of the Special Branch, and constable Aminul Rahman have been placed under suspension by the police pending inquiry into the allegations.
