According to an order issued by the Department of Personnel and Training (DoPT) on Wednesday (September 3, 2025), the Appointments Committee of the Cabinet (ACC) approved the proposal of the Department of Food and Public Distribution to repatriate him on administrative grounds with the imposition of an extended cooling-off condition.
