On Thursday, the Committee of Trustees (COA) formed a three-member panel to investigate allegations of badual harbadment against Johri, but its chairman, Vinod Rai, objected to the dismissal that had been requested by his colleague, among the others.
The committee formed by the COA is composed of former Judge Rakesh Sharma, former Allahabad Supreme Court Judge, who has been appointed President of the Delhi Women's Commission Chairperson, Barkha. Singh, and former director of CBI, PC Sharma.
The COA led by Rai, whose member is former captain Diana Edulji, said that Johri had submitted his response to the justification request issued against him after an anonymous report of the alleged incident had been published on social media. .
The message of the accuser, who claimed to be Johri's former colleague at a previous job, was removed by the pseudo Twitter who originally shared it.
The COA stated that Johri had submitted his explanation on October 20, denying that the alleged incident ever took place. The COA met on October 20-22 to review the case where Edulji had asked for Johri's removal.
However, the president of the COA did not agree and felt that an independent investigation was necessary because the tweet was anonymous, the COA said in a statement.
Rai also felt that since the charge on social media was related to his previous job, with the Discovery Channel, it was only fair that an investigation be conducted.
Johri will remain on leave until the independent committee submits its report and a decision is made on its findings.
Earlier, units from the state of Saurashtra, Tamil Nadu, Gujarat, Haryana, Karnataka, Madhya Pradesh and Goa had written to the COA demanding the removal of Johri.
