Kerala Government Extends Suspension of ADGP M. R. Ajithkumar by 120 Days
The Kerala government has extended the suspension of Additional Director General of Police M. R. Ajithkumar by 120 days. Ajithkumar was initially suspended in July following findings by a Special Investigation Team probing alleged police atrocities against Youth Congress workers during the Nava Kerala Sadas programme in December 2023. The Suspension Review Committee found no grounds to revoke the suspension and recommended its extension. The suspension relates to allegations that Ajithkumar interfered with the investigation and shielded police personnel involved in the incident.
