Andhra Pradesh government extends IPS officer Sanjay's suspension
Vijayawada: The state govt ordered the extension of senior IPS officer N Sanjay's suspension for a further period of 180 days, or until further orders, whichever is earlier. This decision was formalised through a government order (GO) on Tuesday. N Sanjay, a 1996-batch IPS officer, was initially placed under suspension on Dec 3, 2024. The suspension was based on allegations of misappropriation and misuse of public funds during his tenure as director general of the Andhra Pradesh state disaster response and fire services. He is also accused of irregularities while serving as additional director general of police, AP CID, specifically concerning funds allocated for training police personnel on the rights of Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes under the Prevention of Atrocities Act, 1989. A criminal case was registered by the anti-corruption bureau (ACB) on Dec 24, 2024, under sections of the Prevention of Corruption Act, 1988, and multiple sections of the Indian Penal Code. The investigation remains ongoing, with several witnesses yet to be examined and key documents pending collection, as per ACB. In light of the pending investigation and potential risk of the suspended officer influencing the process, the review committee, which met again on May 21, recommended the extension of the suspension. Acting on this advice, the state govt extended the suspension.

SC reserves order on petitions challenging arrest in liquor scam
Vijayawada: The Supreme Court on Monday reserved orders in the petitions filed by Raj Kesireddy , one of the accused in the alleged liquor scam , and his father, Upendar Reddy, challenging his son's arrest and subsequent judicial remand in the case. They challenged the arrest and judicial remand on the ground that police did not follow due procedure in intimating the arrest. Upendar earlier filed a habeas corpus petition contending his son's arrest, arguing that the sections mentioned in the notice given at the time of arrest were different from those included in the remand report. He stated that police did not properly inform the grounds of arrest, which is illegal, and also did not obtain permission from the authority concerned on section 17A of Prevention of Corruption Act before filing of the FIR. Arguing on behalf of the petitioners, senior counsel Mahesh Jetmalani said Andhra Pradesh crime investigation dept (APCID) lacks jurisdiction to issue notices to Raj, who is a resident of another state. He said the reasons mentioned in the notice at the time of arrest were different from those included in the custody report produced before the trial court. Arguing on behalf of the state govt, senior counsel Siddharth Luthra said the objections raised in the petition ought to have been raised before the trial court at the time of producing the accused before the magistrate. He said the petitioners cannot approach the Supreme Court without raising these objections before the trial court. Considering the arguments, the bench of Justices J B Pardiwala and R Mahadevan reserved orders and asked for written submissions to be submitted by Monday evening.
