Kerala ADGP Sudesh Kumar removed from post
Thiruvananthapuram, June 16 : Additional Director General of Police (ADGP) Sudesh Kumar, the chief of the Kerala armed police battalion, was removed from his post on Saturday following complaints of bad behaviour and violation of rules by him and his family members.
Kumar and his family have been in the dock since Thursday when allegations surfaced that his daughter and wife misbehaved with the driver of Kumar's official vehicle -- policeman Gavaskar.
Kumar's daughter Snigdha started abusing Gavaskar and hit him. The injured policeman is now being treated in the Medical College hospital.
With the media taking up the issue, and Gavaskar's wife approaching Chief Minister Vijayan with a complaint of constant harassment meted out to her husband by the Kumar family, Vijayan said on Friday that tough action will be taken.
After a probe, Vijayan's office on Saturday decided to remove Kumar from his post.
According to sources in the know of things, Kumar will be posted in a non-policing job. Besides, more departmental action is also likely to be initiated.
On Saturday, a delegation of the representatives of the police bodies called upon Kerala Police chief Loknath Behera. It was decided in the meeting to set up an association where policemen with grievances against the way they are being treated by their superiors can complain.
Behra also told them that the Crime Branch will conduct a detailed probe into what happened between Gavaskar and Kumar's daughter.
Meanwhile, more complaints have surfaced about the manner in which Kumar and his family behaved with the orderlies in their house and treated them very badly.

Petrol pump worker killed as SUV hits motorcycle head-on in Gurugram
Gurugram (PTI): A petrol pump worker died after an SUV rammed into his motorcycle in the Sushant Lok area here, police said on Thursday.
The accused driver fled the scene, leaving the vehicle after the accident. An FIR has been registered at the Sushant Lok police station, they said.
According to police, the accident occurred on Wednesday afternoon when Mukesh was travelling from Sector 44 to Sushant Lok on Vyapar Kendra Road for some work.
Near Vyapar Kendra, a white Thar coming from the wrong side at high speed hit his motorcycle head-on, leaving him critically injured, they said.
The driver fled the scene, leaving the vehicle behind, police added.
Eyewitnesses claimed the vehicle had no number plates either at the front or rear.
Locals took Mukesh to a private hospital, where he died during treatment, police said. He was a resident of Rohta Patti in Palwal and worked at a petrol pump in Sector 44.
An FIR was registered against the unidentified driver, based on a complaint lodged by his brother Ashok. The body was handed over to the family after a post-mortem on Thursday, police said.
“The Thar vehicle has been seized from the spot. CCTV footage from the area is being examined, and the driver will be arrested soon,” a Gurugram police spokesperson said.
