Please look at the following

And yet, Shivinder’s decision to step down as Executive Vice-Chairman of Fortis and take up full-time Sewa at the Radha Soami Satsang Beas (RSSB) has not entirely surprised those who knew him well.They do, however, question the timing of the announcement and the nature of SMS’ future involvement with both Fortis and RSSB. 

I want to know in what sense question is being used here with regard to timing and future?

Thank you

The verb "question" is being used to indicate doubt , suspicion or possibly to hint at the existence of an ulterior motive or hidden agenda behind Shrivider's decision to volunteer at RSSB.

Thanks.

But if you read the entire article it doesn't suggest ulterior motive.

Can it not be that they simply are asking questions about timing? Like for ex-why did he quit at this stage? Was the timing right?

All I mean to say is it may not be bad intention on his part.

Please help me

Thank you.

Yes, that's possible too.
