The notice was disclosed through a press release issued today (17 June) by NCP Joint Member Secretary (Office) Saleh Uddin Sifat, on behalf of the party.
The notice states, "An allegation of moral misconduct has been brought against you [Tushar]. Party Convener Md Nahid Islam and Member Secretary Md Akhtar Hossain have sought your clear position and explanation on the issue."
The NCP has also asked Tushar to provide a written response explaining why organisational action should not be taken against him.
The explanation must be submitted to the party's political council and the investigation committee within five days, said the notice.
