Two ASI officials suspended
New Delhi: In the wake of the controversy over the ASI affidavit filed on the Sethusamudram case in the Supreme Court, two senior officials of the Archaeological Survey of India were suspended on Friday.
ASI officials Bakshi and Chandrashekhar were placed under suspension following the enquiry conducted by ASI Director-General A. Vaish, highly placed sources here said.
One of the suspended officials was at the Director-level, dealing with the issue for a long time while the other was responsible for amending the final draft of the affidavit submitted by the Centre to the apex court.
The enquiry was ordered by the Secretary of the Union Culture Ministry and the action was taken on the basis of the report submitted by Mr. Vaish on Friday, the sources said.
The suspension was approved by the Union Tourism and Culture Minister Ambika Soni, who returned here on Friday night from a tour of Japan earlier in the day, they said.— PTI
