Kerala High Court Seeks Medical Records of Former DGP Thachankary Amid Travel Request
The Kerala High Court has requested prison medical records of former Kerala Director General of Police Tomin J Thachankary, convicted in a disproportionate assets case and currently out on bail. The court questioned Thachankary's contradictory claims of illness during imprisonment and his request to travel abroad for work. Justice A Badharudeen directed the jail superintendent to report on Thachankary's illnesses and hospitalisation days. The court will hear the matter further on November 6, following the suspension of his four-year sentence on October 15.
