The three civil service officers who have been suspended are Sub Divisional Magistrate (Jhajjar) Pankaj Setia, SDM (Hansi) Jagdeep Singh and SDM (Gohana) Dharmendra Singh (currently posted as SDM Ferozepur Jhirka), official sources said today.

During the period of suspension, their headquarters would be in the office of Chief Secretary in Services-I Branch at Chandigarh. They would not leave the headquarters without obtaining prior permission of the Chief Secretary, they said.

The suspended Deputy Superintendent of Police (DSPs) are Sukhbir Singh, DSP, State Crime Bureau (SCB), earlier posted as DSP, Rohtak at Kalanaur; Surender Singh, DSP, SCB, earlier posted as DSP, Meham; Vijender Singh, DSP, Headquarters Rohtak and Pawan Kumar, DSP, Rohtak.

On May 17, Haryana government had shunted out its Additional Chief Secretary (Home), P K Das, barely days after the former Prakash Singh Committee submitted its report to Chief Minister Manohar Lal Khattar. Das was replaced by senior IAS officer Ram Niwas.

Around 90 officers were indicted for “deliberate negligence” during the Jat quota agitation by Prakash Singh Committee and adverse comments were made against them in its report submitted to Chief Minister on May 13.
