AMARAVATI, Dec 4: The Andhra Pradesh Government has suspended N Sanjay, a senior IPS officer who was heading Crime Investigation Department (CID) during Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu’s arrest in “skill development case’ last year, accusing the official of “mis-utilization of Government funds”.
Sanjay, currently Director General, AP State Disaster Response and Fire Services, is the fourth senior IPS officer to face suspension after the TDP-led NDA government took reins of the administration in the state.
A Government Order issued on Tuesday said after a probe by Vigilance and Enforcement Department, it was found that the 1996-batch officer procured laptops and iPads and made payment last year, “in a hurried manner causing misappropriation of funds by abuse of office power and breach of public trust.” (PTI)
