Upon reviewing the allegations, the association concluded that Thakuria had a history of misconduct, including mental and financial harassment of employees. Additionally, evidence supported claims of ongoing misdeeds within the department. After thorough deliberation, the association unanimously decided to suspend and expel Thakuria from his role as an office bearer and primary member of the association for a period of three years.
The decision bars Thakuria from undertaking any activities or roles within the association during this period.
