“This blatant action of yours is a sad contradiction of your expected role as a revered Royal Father of your status.

"It is more worrisome that you acted unbothered when the much coveted peace and security of the State was being threatened by your action.

“In view of the above, you are hereby requested to forward a written explanation within 48 hours why disciplinary action should not be taken against you.

"Oral explanations may also be required from you when the State Government sets up a panel to examine your case.
