Mumbai: Maharashtra
Governor K. Sankaranarayanan Thursday suspended State Information
Commissioner Ramanand Tiwari, who is allegedly involved in the
Adarsh Society scam.
"The suspension order has been issued and comes into immediate
effect," an official told IANS.
Tiwari's suspension came two days after the governor referred the
matter to the Supreme Court under Sec 17(1) of the Right To
Information Act.
The action against Tiwari, a former bureaucrat, comes amid
revelations that his son, Omkar, was also a member in the
controversial building.
