According to sources, the ECI ordered that charge be taken from Anjani Kumar and given to the next senior-most eligible officer of the state.
The source said that the poll panel’s action comes after the DGP went to meet Congress state unit chief A Revanth Reddy during the day when the counting of votes was underway.
The Congress on Sunday defeated the ruling BRS in the state which was eyeing a third-consecutive term in the southern state.
The victory in Telangana for the Congress came for the first time after the inception of the state in 2014.
