Since Rajiv wants to suppress data by person, the following should be used:
bysort Person: drop if Time > Event_Time

I need to suppress these data as follows: since the event occured for
person 1 at time 2 I want to drop all data pertaining to him for period 3
and keep data only for period 1 and 2. Similarly for person 2, since the
event occured at time 1, I want to drop all data after this point and keep
data only for period 1.
* Does this do what you want?
drop if Time > Event_Time
