A top-level departmental inquiry is under way into Kerala’s Additional Director General of Police (ADGP), Law and Order, M.R. Ajith Kumar’s alleged “under-the-wraps meeting” with the top Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) leadership.
A police team headed by State Police Chief (SPC) Sheikh Darvesh Sahib issued a notice last week to one Jayakumar, an RSS worker who allegedly accompanied the ranking officer to the purported secret meetings in Thrissur and later at Kovalam in Thiruvananthapuram in 2023.
The alleged secret encounters had caught the Chief Minister’s Office (CMO) in the centre of a stormy political controversy.
Suresh Gopi’s election
Both the Congress and the Communist Party of India (CPI) linked the alleged meeting to the Thrissur Pooram disruption, which they claimed triggered a wave of Hindu resentment that swept the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) candidate Suresh Gopi to victory in the 2024 Thrissur Lok Sabha elections.
