What does a suspended IAS officer do on the anniversary of his suspension?
In Kerala, he writes a Facebook post that shakes up the bureaucracy. On 11 November, N Prasanth marked one year of his suspension with a post accusing the state’s top official of corruption and hypocrisy.
On 12 November, the government replied officially, with an order extending his suspension till 4 May 2026.
The suspension saga that refuses to retire
Prasanth, a 2007-batch IAS officer, was first suspended on 11 November 2024 by Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan, alongside fellow officer K. Gopalakrishnan.
The charge: “official misconduct, violation of service rules, and impropriety.”
The reason, however, has remained a matter of legend — a Facebook post quoting the cult Malayalam film Manichithrathazhu.
