The EC has stated Mohammed Mohsin, the IAS officer, did not act in "conformity" with instructions on Special Protection Group (SPG) protectees.
The EC has been quoted by NDTV, "As cited in the order...instruction dated 10.4.14 states that SPG protectees are excluded from checking."
Mohsin has been accused of "insubordination and dereliction of duty".
