Dhananjay Kumar Das, former Joint Secretary of the Home Ministry and later transferred to the Ministry of Textiles and Jute, has been dismissed from government service. The Ministry of Public Administration issued the order after he remained absent without permission since September 3. Despite being attached to the ministry again, he failed to report back. His actions were deemed as "absconding" under service rules, and a criminal case was filed against him. He did not respond to official notices, leading to his dismissal in the public interest.
