Walsh and some other support staff had issues with the government over TDS (Tax Deduction at Source) in their salaries.
Thomson though had denied that there were any issues over TDS and said the problem was created by HI president Narinder Batra. He dismissed the issue as “canards” on the part of Batra.
The SAI DG said “sporting bureaucracy” mentioned by Walsh could also be Hockey India.
Surprised at Walsh’s sudden resignation, Sonowal had sought a report on the issue from SAI and his own secretary within 24 hours.
