"Whereas, department proceedings against Udit Prakash Rai are contemplated. Now, therefore, the President of India, in exercise of powers conferred under Rule 3 of the All India Services (Discipline and Appeal), 1969, hereby places Rai under suspension with immediate effect," the order said.

The order added that during the period of suspension, the headquarters for Rai will be Mizoram, and he shall not leave the headquarters without obtaining the prior permission from the competent authority.

During the suspension period, Rai will be entitled to subsistence allowance equal to leave salary, the order marked to the Mizoram chief secretary, the principal secretary to Delhi's lieutenant governor and the Delhi chief secretary added.
