The tussle between Kejriwal and Jung, which started over the appointment of senior bureaucrat Shakuntala Gamlin as the acting chief secretary, escalated into a situation where another bureaucrat, principal secretary (Services) Anindo Majumdar, was locked out of his office at the Delhi Secretariat on Monday.

This was reportedly done on the orders of Kejriwal as Majumder had followed the LG's orders to appoint Gamlin as the acting chief secretary.
