Tihar Jail Dy Superintendent sacked, given compulsory retirement
Tihar Jail's Deputy Superintendent Jagdish Singh was removed by "imposing the penalty of compulsory retirement" following an inquiry, the statement said.
"Jagdish Singh, Deputy Superintendent, Central Jail Tihar, was found guilty of assisting illegal meeting of a prisoner with an outsider, and in another case, he released a prisoner without a proper release order from the competent court," the statement read.
It said that Dev, who was appointed as the Delhi Chief Secretary in November last year replacing Anshu Prakash, has emphasised that there will be zero tolerance policy towards corruption and misdemeanour.
A few days ago, a Health Department's store purchase supervisor was also removed on charges of "irregularities" in the purchase of consumables for stores of a state-run hospital.
