Nagpal, a former sub-divisional magistrate (SDM) of Noida who came into the limelight for her campaign against the "sand mafia", has been asked to submit an explanation of her conduct in 15 days.

In the charge sheet, the government has accused Nagpal of "jeopardizing" the communal harmony in the area, specially since the period is auspicious for both Hindus and Muslims owing to their ongoing holy months of Saawan and Ramadan.
