The case in the said testimony was in 2012 related to Dr. Mahtani in which the final judgement was given against him. However, the testimony from the judge states that the judgement was plagues by external forces and the case was against the interests of the public policies.

Those who tried to raise their void were also silenced by removal from their positions.
