Unrest gripped Chandigarh as the mayoral election became a battleground for accusations of election tampering and misconduct. The initial victory of Sarabjit Kaur Sonkar sparked controversy, with the AAP-Congress Alliance challenging invalidated votes attributed to returning officer Anil Masih. The High Court upheld the results, but the Supreme Court, upon reviewing video evidence, found Masih guilty of misconduct and reversed the verdict. Kuldeep Kumar, the AAP-Congress candidate, was declared the rightful winner, leading to Sonkar's resignation. This dramatic saga ignited discussions on Indian politics, democracy, the role of the judiciary, and the importance of fairness and investigations into potential corruption.
