A controversy has erupted in Himachal Pradesh as snacks meant for Chief Minister Sukhvinder Singh Sukhu were mistakenly served to his security staff. The subsequent turmoil led to a CID probe which labeled the incident an 'anti-government' act.

The mix-up occurred on October 21 during the chief minister's visit to the CID headquarters. An officer of IG rank had asked a sub-inspector to fetch eatables from Hotel Radisson Blue for the CM's visit. However, these items were inadvertently served to the security personnel rather than the chief guest.

The investigation revealed a series of miscommunications and departmental errors. A CID official claimed all individuals involved acted contrary to government interests, causing the incident to spiral into a major administrative mishap.
