The Press Club Mumbai's first "elected " Internal Auditor Mr Oommen Ninan today visited the club and inspected various documents and took note of some comissions and ommissions , including shortage of about Rs 3000 at the cash counter.
As per his request , that was authorised by none other than the Club President Mr Pradip Vijayakar , an 'ordinary member' of the Club , CPJha was called to assist him in inspecting the Club documents.
The Club Chairman , Devendra Mohan , however , asked CPJha to 'get out' of the cashier counter saying that he did not know who has authosised him to do so.
At this CPJha vaccated the Cashier counter and yet offered his help to the Internal Auditor , if required, asserting that he was fully authorised to do so.
After that the Club's former secretary Gurbir Singh cornered CPJha and 'WARNED " him in front of the Chairman Mohan , the Managing Committee Member Joshi and senior member Mody for what he claimed was an excercise in frustration.CPJha just requested him to serve a letter in black & white in support of his contention.
Mr Gurbir Singh also asked CPJha to be ready for repercusssions.At this CPJha said " Please be calm , do not raise your fingers at me , I am willing to what is my duty under the constitution of the Club and if you have any objections please ask the President and the Internal Auditor ".
We shall revisit the 'incident ' soon after the Club managing committee formally files its objections.
