Thiruvananthapuram: The government has extended the suspension period of N Prashant IAS. The suspension has been extended for four months. The award is based on the recommendation of the review committee. N Prashant’s non-response is a serious violation of the review committee’s assessment. The suspension was for insulting Additional Secretary Jayathilak and Gopalakrishnan, who was the Director of Industries Department, through Facebook.
Instead of replying to the charge memo issued by Chief Secretary Sharada Muraleedharan, he sought an explanation there, which caused a lot of controversy. N Prashanth had also sent a lawyer notice to the Chief Secretary demanding action against those who tampered with the government document.
