Bengaluru: In a big relief to the suspended IAS officers alleged to be involved in the voter data theft case by Chilume organisation, the Karnataka government has withdrawn the suspension orders of K Srinivas and S Rangappa.

In its order copy, the state government has posted K Srinivas as Managing Director, Rajiv Gandhi Housing Corporation Limited, Bengaluru, relieving Kavitha S Mannikeri from concurrent charge until further orders.

Srinivas was serving as the Bengaluru Urban District Deputy Commissioner before the Votegate scam broke out.

Rangappa S, who earlier was serving as Special Commissioner for Bruhat Bengaluru Mahanagara Palike (BBMP), is now posted with immediate effect as Executive Director, Karnataka State Minerals Corporation Limited, Bengaluru.
