Bullet train project chief outlined 16 issues on day of his removal

Satish Agnihotri was removed from his post on July 8, with officials in the Railway ministry saying the sacking was linked to a 2011 accusation in which Agnihotri, who was brought out of retirement to head the flagship Bullet train project just a year ago, was accused of allotting a contract to a firm where his son worked – a charge he has denied.
