Speaking to IANS on Thursday, Khan said that he was waiting for a formal termination order, which would be given to him. "I will continue to fight for justice and will challenge the order in court," he said.

He said, "I was appointed from the UP Public Service Commission, so the government could not dismiss me directly. They had to take permission from the UP Public Service Commission, I am told that they have now taken that permission." Kafeel Khan also claimed that eight people were accused in this entire case, the remaining seven people have returned to their jobs, some have also got promotions and are being sacked.
