Bhubaneswar: The Odisha government has revoked the suspension of senior IPS officer DS Kutey.

The senior IPS officer has been posted as OSD in the Home Department.

The state government has revoked the suspension of 1997-batch IPS officer DS Kutey with immediate effect and posted him as the Officer on Special Duty (OSD) in Home Department, said a notification issued by the state government today.

Prior to his suspension in May this year, Kutey was serving as the Special Secretary to then Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik.

The senior IPS officer had been placed under suspension as per the direction of the Election Commissioner of India (ECI) for his undue interference in the election process in Odisha.

The ECI had recommended for the revocation of Kutey’s suspension after completion of the Lok Sabha and Assembly polls in Odisha in June this year.
