Kerala has suspended ADGP M R Ajith Kumar pending disciplinary action, following an inquiry report. The decision marks a major development involving one of the state’s senior police officers.
The suspension also puts an immediate brake on Ajith Kumar’s expected promotion to the post of Director General of Police. That promotion process is now effectively stalled as the disciplinary proceedings move ahead.
According to the available details, the action is linked to the Alappuzha assault case. While the full findings of the inquiry have not been outlined in the available report, the state’s move indicates that the matter has reached a serious administrative stage.
The development is likely to draw attention within Kerala’s policing and administrative circles, given both the rank of the officer involved and the impact on the top-level leadership pipeline in the force.
