Senior IPS officer and Additional Director General of Police N. Sanjay was suspended by the Andhra Pradesh government on Tuesday for violation of conduct rules.
The 1993-batch IPS officer was reportedly involved in irregularities while serving as Director General of State Disaster Response and Fire Services. He has been directed not to leave the headquarters.
He was the CID Chief during the previous the YSR Congress Party regime and had supervised the probe against the then Leader of the Opposition and Telugu Desam Party (TDP) President, N. Chandrababu Naidu. These cases had resulted in the arrest of Naidu who spent nearly two months in jail.
After Chandrababu Naidu became the Chief Minister in June he was attached with the DGP office and the Vigilance and Enforcement (V&E) probe was ordered against him.
The V&E Department reportedly found him guilty of misusing his official position to facilitate payment of Rs 1 crore to Sautrika Technologies and Infra Private Ltd and recommended appropriate legal action against him under the Central Services Conduct Rules.
