“The government viewed very seriously, especially that your action, role and participation in partisan politics endangered the security of your domain to the extent that crisis erupted under your watch that led to death of an innocent young lady in addition to several others that were wounded.
The paramount ruler was also advised in the query letter to be prepared to appear before a panel of inquiry that will examine his case very soon.
Efforts made to get the reaction of the royal father proved abortive, but a source from the palace confirmed that he has received the query letter, but not sure whether he had replied to that effect.
