Kerala High Court Allows State to Object to Former DGP Thachankary's Appeal in Assets Case
The Kerala High Court has allowed the State government time to file objections against former DGP Tomin J. Thachankary's appeal challenging his conviction in a disproportionate assets case. Thachankary was sentenced to four years of rigorous imprisonment and fined Rs. 30.84 lakh for allegedly accumulating wealth beyond his known income between 2003 and 2007. The court declined to suspend his sentence, with the next hearing scheduled for September 24. Thachankary contests the conviction, citing miscalculations and withheld evidence.
