Sathiyasundaram said the officer would remain under the disciplinary control of Commandant of the Puducherry Armed Police during the suspension period. The officer cannot leave Puducherry without the permission of the Director-General of Police, the order stated.
According to a police source, the disciplinary action was initiated following certain revelation by Nishad Ahmed, one of the accused persons in a financial fraud case, investigated by the Puducherry Police and Enforcement Directorate (ED).
