Overview

• Resident Commissioner Imkongla Jamir and Chief Secretary Shalini Rajneesh have accepted H. Anjaneya’s July 22 complaint and launched an official inquiry into the allegations against C. Mohan Kumar.
• Anjaneya’s complaint alleges that Mohan Kumar threatened to assault him with a shoe, obstructed his duties and previously assaulted another officer, MM Joshi.
• Mohan Kumar has rejected the claims, accusing Anjaneya of indiscipline and citing separate complaints by women staff members.
• BJP leader R. Ashoka criticised the spat as proof of a dysfunctional Congress government and a leadership power struggle in Karnataka.
• The confrontation mirrors an ongoing feud between Chief Minister Siddaramaiah and Deputy CM Shivakumar that has fuelled factional tensions within the state Congress.
