**Andhra Pradesh Extends Suspension of IPS Officer N. Sanjay Amid Corruption Probe**

*Vijayawada, May 28, 2025* – The Andhra Pradesh government has further extended the suspension of IPS officer N. Sanjay, formerly Additional Director General of Police (ADG), Crime Investigation Department (CID), for an additional six months, or until further notice. The extension comes as investigations continue into allegations that Mr. Sanjay misappropriated and misused public funds during his tenures as Director General (DG) of Andhra Pradesh State Disaster Response and Fire Services, and as ADG (CID).

Mr. Sanjay, a 1996 batch IPS officer, is accused of misusing funds allocated for development works and for training police personnel on the rights of Scheduled Castes (SCs) and Scheduled Tribes (STs) under the Prevention of Atrocities (POA) Act of 1989.

The suspension was initially imposed under Rule 3 (1) of the All India Services (Discipline and Appeal) Rules, 1989. A Review Committee, which convened earlier this year, had previously recommended an extension until May 31, 2025. Following another meeting on May 21, the committee recommended the current extension, citing concerns that the ongoing investigation could be influenced by the officer.

“The investigation of the case was in progress and the officer under suspension might influence the probe,” the Review Committee stated in its recommendation.

The Director General of Police (HoPF) has been directed to take necessary action. A case under the Prevention of Corruption Act is pending against Mr. Sanjay, with further witness examinations anticipated.

The extended suspension is effective until November 27, 2025, or until further orders are issued.
