A "No Confidence Motion" was passed against Tomar at the PCI’s Annual General Body meeting in Bangalore earlier this month, with 62 of the 68 members favouring the move.

He has been expelled on seven charges, including indulging in anti-federation activities and misappropriating Government funds received for last year’s Asian Para Games in Incheon.

Among the other charges are mismanagement in pressurising Executive Committee members to sign for a non-conducted Board meeting, and misguiding the Government by attempting to claim false amounts as International Paralympic Committee (IPC) and Asian Paralympic Committee competition approval fees in connection with the 2015 Open Para Games.

The inaugural edition of the Games was scheduled to take place in New Delhi this month, but was postponed indefinitely following the IPC's suspension of the PCI in April, for what was described as gross mismanagement following a catalogue of problems and conflicts between different groups and individuals.

Tomar has also been accused of misuse of power for suspending four Executive Committee Members in an “autocratic manner for no valid reasons” which is said to be against the bylaws of the PCI.

Holding dual names has also been aimed at Tonmar, with claims his surname during PCI elections is as such but reads as Tanwar on his passport.

Furthermore, sole responsibility for the “debacle” at the National Para-Athletics Championships in Ghaziabad, where athletes were reportedly housed in uncompleted buildings and left without access to drinking water and toilets, has been placed on his shoulders.

PCI vice-president Shri. Nale Nandakishore Babu Rao is currently acting as President until a replacement for Tomar is chosen in the next general elections.

J Chandrashekar, secretary general of the PCI, has requested all National Paralympic Committees to refrain from corresponding with Tomar as he claims “it would create damage for the development of [the] Paralympic Movement in India to a great extent”.

India’s Ministry of Youth Affairs and Sports has officially handed responsibility for all matters relating to Para-athletes to the Sports Authority of India (SAI) following the PCI's ban. 

As well as taking care of athlete selection for various events, the SAI will also be in charge of coaching camps and Para-athlete entries for international tournaments.

Despite the PCI's ban, the IPC gave India permission to compete at international competitions under the IPC flag last week.
