Amaravati:The state government on Tuesday extended the suspension of IPS officer N Sanjay until the conclusion of criminal proceedings against him or his retirement next year, whichever comes first.

Sanjay, a 1996-batch IPS officer, was placed under suspension in December 2024 over charges of misappropriation and misuse of public funds in the development, maintenance and work of the AGNI (Automated Governance & NoC Integration) NoC web portal while working as the Director General of Andhra Pradesh State Disaster Response and Fire Services. Likewise, he is also accused of “misappropriation of funds” allotted for training police personnel to create awareness among SCs and STs about the rights of victims and provisions of the Prevention of Atrocities (POA) Act, 1989, while working as additional director general of police in the CID.
