New Delhi: President Pratibha Patil has cleared the suspension of Prasar
Bharati chief executive officer (CEO) B.S. Lalli, official sources
said here Tuesday.
Lalli's suspension clears the way for an inquiry against him on
charges of financial mismanagement.
Patil had earlier this month given her assent for a Supreme Court
inquiry into the financial mismanagement charges against the
Prasar Bharati CEO. Patil's assent came on a reference made by the
government.
Lalli, a 1971 batch Indian Administrative Service officer, was
indicted by the Central Vigilance Commission for breach of
parliamentary privilege, showing favours to some broadcast
companies and committing financial mismanagement.
Prasar Bharati is the public broadcaster of the country and has
All India Radio and Doordarshan as its components.
