The Andhra Pradesh administration has withdrawn the suspension of two Indian Police Service officers, restoring them to active duty.
The state government of Andhra Pradesh announced today that the suspension imposed on two senior Indian Police Service (IPS) officers has been revoked. The decision, communicated through an official circular, restores the officers to their respective posts and duties. No further details on the reasons for the original suspension or the criteria for lifting it were disclosed.
Sources indicate that the move follows a review by the state’s Home Department, which concluded that the officers should resume service. The reinstatement is expected to take effect immediately, allowing the officers to rejoin ongoing law‑and‑order operations across the state.
The reversal has been noted by political observers as part of the government’s broader effort to address internal administrative matters. The Home Department has not commented on whether any disciplinary action will follow the reinstatement.
Stakeholders in the police force have welcomed the decision, describing it as a step toward stabilising the department’s leadership. The two officers, whose names were not released, will now continue their duties under the supervision of the state’s senior police hierarchy.
