The DDCA ombudsman Justice (Retd) Badar Durrez Ahmed today issued a show cause notice to secretary Vinod Tihara on allegations of "indiscipline and gross misconduct".
It is learnt that Justice Ahmed has given Tihara 15 days time to respond to the allegations.
"Yes, Tihara has been served a show cause notice by the Ombudsman based on our complaints. He tried to stop DDCA president Rajat Sharma from performing his duties. In fact, all the office bearers had signed a joint complaint letter to the Ombudsman with details of all the allegations. Primarily, he tried to stop the appointments of CEO and CFO," a senior DDCA office bearer told PTI on Thursday.
When Tihara was contacted, he said: "I have not yet checked my mails. So I can't confirm whether the ombudsman has sent me any show cause letter."
