The backwash of the accusations raised by Left Democratic Front (LDF) independent legislator P.V. Anvar against Kerala’s Additional Director of General of Police (ADGP), Law and Order, M.R. Ajith Kumar, seemingly rocked the Kerala government on Monday (September 2, 2024) and prompted Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan to announce a top-level investigation.
Inaugurating the Kerala Police Association (KPA) conference in Kottayam, Mr. Vijayan said the government would investigate the “issues dominating the public conversation with due seriousness”. Mr. Vijayan did not name Mr. Anvar or Mr. Kumar. Also, he avoided dwelling on the LDF independent legislator’s controversial statements against the ADGP at a press conference in Malappuram on Sunday.
