Union Health Minister Harsh Vardhan removed the officer and whistle-blower Sanjiv Chaturvedi, acting specifically upon the request of Bharatiya Janata Party national general secretary and Member of Parliament J P Nadda. The Central Vigilance Commission did not ask him or the health ministry to do so, new set of official documents reveal. Nadda also demanded that investigations of corruption cases that Chaturvedi had unearthed and processed be put on hold and personally reviewed by the health minister.

This contradicts the statements the health minister had made when the controversy broke. He had claimed, "Sanjeev Chaturvedi twice rejected by CVC. His continuation as CVO irregular and indefensible. CVC's unattended concerns addressed at last."

Records of the health ministry, reviewed by Business Standard, show that the minister was actually addressing concerns of his senior party colleague, Nadda.

Vardhan has removed Chaturvedi, who had unearthed a record number of corruption and financial scams in his two years at the country's premier hospital. The Haryana cadre forest service officer's tenure would otherwise have lasted till June 2016.
