- As an independent candidate, Kanwar Singh had won municipal poll held in December last year by defeating his nearest rival Sandeep Bohra by a margin of 632 votes.
- On January 4, Bohra had filed a complaint with the SEC demanding cancellation of his election. He alleged that his matric certificate was fake.
On January 4, Bohra had filed a complaint with the SEC demanding cancellation of his election and registration of a criminal case against him alleging that his matric certificate was fake, as the Central Board of Higher Education (CBHE), which had issued the certificate was not recognised.
Later, the case was probed by the Kosli SDM, who in his report stated that any exam conducted by the CBHE was neither equivalent to any exam held by the HBSE nor the CBHE was included in the equivalent list of the HBSE, hence the matric certificate presented by Kanwar Singh could not be deemed as valid.
"Kanwar Singh submitted a certificate of an un-recognised board/ institutes and deemed to be disqualified for the post. He is removed with immediate effect and his office will become vacant immediately," states the order issued by Dalip Singh, the State Election Commissioner.
