Failure to take action in assault case
V. Thulaseedharan Nair, a Sub-Inspector attached to the Mangalapuram police station, who allegedly refused to register a case against a notorious criminal and let him off on station bail, was suspended for dereliction of official responsibilities.
Sanjaykumar Gurudin, Deputy Inspector General of Police, Thiruvananthapuram Range, issued the suspension order on a Special Branch inquiry that found Mr. Nair guilty of misconduct.
The disciplinary action was taken in connection with a brutal attack on Puthenthope native Anas by a three-member gang, led by habitual offender Faizal of Masthanmukku in Kaniyapuram, during the late hours of November 21.
