NEW DELHI: The Delhi government on Tuesday withdrew the suspension order of chief minister Arvind Kejriwal’s principal secretary Rajendra Kumar.
Kumar was arrested by the CBI on July 4 in an alleged corruption case and subsequently the home ministry had issued a deemed suspension order as he was in police custody for more than 48 hours.
However, Kejriwal had issued another order to suspend his principal secretary on July 6.
Meanwhile, Delhi assembly secretary Prasanna Kumar Suryadevara has been repatriated to his parent organisation, Prasar Bharti. An order to that effect was issued by the services department on Monday.
The development comes days after assembly speaker Ram Niwas Goel had recommended an extension of two years to the officer who has formerly served for over a decade in the Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha.
