Satheesan has rejected claims that there was any attempt to protect IPS officer M R Ajith Kumar or slow down action in the case. He said the probe report was sent to the police chief last week and is now being examined by the home department.
His remarks come amid questions over whether the process was being delayed. By outlining the movement of the report through official channels, Satheesan sought to present the matter as one that is continuing under the normal administrative procedure.
The update suggests that the next stage of the Ajith Kumar probe rests with the home department's review. While no final decision was indicated, the statement makes clear that the case remains active and under consideration.
The issue has drawn political attention because it involves a senior police officer and allegations of inaction. For now, the government's position is that there has been no special protection and that the review is moving ahead within the system.
