"Chavan was transferred from Jalna to Ratnagiri a month ago but the transfer order was recalled. Chavan along with friends held a celebration, with music and dance, at Kanyanagar here, which needed police intervention," he said.

Chavan was suspended for "tarnishing the image of MSEDCL" after his celebrations led to Sadar Bazar police registering a case for alleged public disturbance and violation of sound norms, the official said.
