A corruption case has been filed against suspended senior Andhra IPS officer N Sanjay (IPS:1993:AP) for alleged misuse of funds. The Anti-Corruption Bureau (ACB) registered the case against him on Tuesday.
The ACB had written to Chief Secretary A Santhi Kumari seeking permission to initiate action against him under the Prevention of Corruption Act. The case was registered after receiving the approval from the Chief Secretary. Sanjay, currently the Additional DGP, has been named as accused number one.
The Chandrababu Naidu-led Telugu Desam Party government had earlier ordered an ACB probe against him. The ACB inquiry had been ordered on the basis of a report by the Vigilance and Enforcement (V&E) Department. The V&E Department reportedly found misuse of funds to the tune of Rs 2 crore. Sanjay served as the Director General of State Disaster Response and Fire Services and Chief of Crime Investigation Department (CID) under the previous government of YSR Congress Party.
According to allegations, IPS officer was involved in certain irregularities while serving as Director General of State Disaster Response and Fire Services.
Sanjay had allegedly given a contract to Sautrika Technologies to operate the AGNI-NOC website, mobile app development and operation and supply of 150 tabs.
There are allegations that Rs 59.93 lakh were paid to the company without any work.
The IPS officer had also allegedly cleared payment of Rs 1.19 crore to Kritvyap Technologies on behalf of CID for organising programmes to create awareness among Dalits and tribals about the SC/ST (Prevention of Atrocities) Act.
He was placed under suspension on December 4 for alleged violation of conduct rules.
