At the time of holding press conference he was having security in the capacity of Additional PRO to Deputy CM and prior to holding of press conference the applicant had submitted his resignation as Additional PRO to his parent Department and also to the then Deputy Chief Minister but the then Dy.CM with malafide and motivated intentions did not accept the resignation of the applicant and forced him to work with him.
