Maharashtra Information Commissioner, Ramanand Tiwari, whose son has a flat in the scam tainted Adarsh Housing Society in Mumbai, has applied for long leave but his plea was rejected by Maharashtra Governor, K Sankaranarayanan.

Shiv Sena leader Subhash Desai has said the government should sack Tiwari, a former IAS officer, for his alleged involvement in the Adarsh scam.
