Gujarat-cadre IPS officer Rajnish Rai has been suspended by the Union Ministry of Home Affairs for allegedly "abdicating" his office as the IG and Principal of CRPF training school at Chittoor, Andhra Pradesh.
Rai, who had arrested D G Vanzara and two other IPS officers in the Sohrabuddin Shaikh alleged fake encounter case in 2007, was serving as inspector general and principal of the Counter Insurgency and Anti-Terrorism (CIAT) School of the Central Reserve Police Force.
The order passed by the home ministry on December 17 said Rai had been placed under suspension for "unauthorised handing over the charge of IG and Principal, CIAT School, CRPF, Chittoor and abdication of office on November 30."
