New Delhi: A top Delhi bureaucrat today found his office locked and another's appointment was declared void as the turf war between Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal and Lt Governor Najeeb Jung turned murkier with both sides showing no sign of any let up in ending their bitter fight.

The day began with AAP administration locking the office of Principal Secretary (Services) Anindo Majumdar and subsequently appointing Rajendra Kumar, a senior bureaucrat known to be close to Kejriwal, to the post. Majumdar had issued an order notifying the appointment of Shakuntala Gamlin as acting chief secretary on Friday.
