India Today has exclusively learnt that the MHA had sought a report from Delhi’s Chief Secretary on the news report regarding the misuse of facilities at Thyagraj Stadium by Sanjeev Khirwar and his wife Rinku Dugga.
The Chief Secretary submitted a report later in the evening on the factual position of MHA.
