The Indian Audit and Accounts Department has asked the Chandigarh Municipal Corporation why no action was taken against nominated councillor Anil Masih in connection with the mayoral election of January 30, 2024.
The corporation replied that the decision on action against Masih was pending with the higher authority.

The Supreme Court had set aside the result, declared AAP candidate Kuldeep Kumar the validly elected mayor and directed a show-cause notice to Masih under Section 340 of the Code of Criminal Procedure.
