In her most recent missive dropped off at the Prime Ministers residence on July 25, Bhatia alleged that in yet another act of intimidation, her office in the training institute in Gurgaon was “raided” by the Department on July 23, the first time such an incident has occurred since its inception in 1997. And that this was an attempt by the RAW top brass to “intimidate” her.
Her mind disturbed: Govt
Statement issued by Cabinet Secretariat after the incident:
Bhatia complained last year, committee was set up to probe but she withdrew her complaint
She refused to cooperate with committee which completed its probe on May 19 this year and found that her allegations could not be substantiated.
The committee found her behaviour indicated “a disturbed state of mind” and an AIIMS officer recommended medical counselling which Bhatia refused.
Several complaints from “different quarters”: unauthorized communication with media, insubordination, sending offensive SMSes.
Given this “misconduct,” probe ordered on Aug 8; when told about the inquiry on Aug 19, she indicated she would not appear in proceedings.
