Thiruvananthapuram: Additional director general of police (ADGP) Sudesh Kumar, who allegedly mistreated his junior colleagues, has been removed as the head of the Armed Police Battalion. He has not been assigned any new roles.
S Anandakrishnan will be the new chief of Armed Police Battalion.
Kumar shot into notoriety after his driver Gavaskar alleged that the senior cop's daughter had assaulted him. In his complaint, Gavaskar alleged that the IPS officer's daughter had verbally abused him and hit him hard on his neck and shoulder with her mobile phone.
The incident happened when the woman and her mother had gone for a morning walk, according to Gavaskar's complaint.
The incident kicked up a row as more police personnel, deployed as camp followers for the personal service of senior officers, have complained against ill-treatment meted out by the higher-ups and their family members.
Kumar's daughter has already been booked under non-bailable charges for allegedly attacking Gavaskar.
