The Union Home Ministry has suspended former Tihar Prisons Director General Sandeep Goel (IPS:1989:AGMUT). The suspension order was issued on Wednesday night. In the suspension order, no specific reason is given for his suspension, but it appears he has been suspended for dereliction of duties.
Goel was removed as the head of Delhi’s Tihar Prisons last month and attached to the Delhi Police headquarters.
The officer was removed from his post after alleged conman Sukesh Chandrasekhar claimed that he had paid the officer Rs 12.5 crore in “protection money” for his safety in Mandoli Jail, where he is lodged in connection with a money laundering case worth Rs 200 crore.
