Disputes began immediately after that meeting. Some members opposed the move, even tearing up the minutes in protest, arguing that no such meeting should be called. The situation escalated to physical confrontation.
Following the incident, NADA demanded a written explanation within three days from the member who tore the meeting minutes.
Internal disputes within NADA had been simmering since the election of the current executive committee. Tensions escalated further when President Karan Chaudhary reduced Vice President Akash Golchha to the role of an ordinary member.
