The Supreme Court later publicly disclosed details of the incident, intensifying public concern and prompting calls for accountability. Subsequently, <span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">146 Members of Parliament<\/span> submitted a proposal seeking his removal on grounds linked to the unexplained cash recovery and constitutional provisions. Prior in-house inquiries found the allegations grave enough to trigger formal proceedings, prompting the Lok Sabha Speaker to constitute an inquiry committee. Then on <span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">12 August 2025<\/span>, the 3-member committee was formed to examine the case.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 3%;\"><span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">Read
