TN DGP suspended on corruption charges

In a surprise development, Tamil Nadu's AIADMK government on Thursday removed its appointee Director General of Police A Ravindranath and placed him under suspension following complaints of corruption against him, official sources in Madras said.

Director of the Vigilance and Anti-corruption Bureau B P Nailwal has been appointed as the new DGP.

Ravindranath is the first DGP of the state to be suspended on corruption charges.

He had come under attack for the controversial arrest of former chief minister and DMK chief M Karunanidhi on June 30 and the police action on a DMK rally in July.

Nailwal is the fourth DGP of the state since the Jayalalithaa government came to power in May last.

V K Rajagopalan, Additional Director General of Police and member of the Uniformed Services Recruitment Board, has been promoted as DGP and posted as the Director of the Vigilance and Anti-corruption Bureau.
