Ex-ADGP seeks transfer of case to CBI




The Madras High Court on Thursday ordered notice on a writ petition by a former Additional Director-General of Police to transfer a case relating to alleged land-grabbing against his family members to the CBI.


Justice N. Paul Vasanthakumar said that the notice would be returnable in two weeks.


In the petition, K. Thukkaiandi, who retired as Chief Vigilance Officer, Tamil Nadu State Transport Corporation, Chennai, alleged that the authorities were trying to implicate him by coercing witnesses and foist cases by threatening his relatives and those who worked as subordinates during his tenure.


The authorities were going all out to implicate him and wreak vengeance. Since they were not able to move further in the case registered against his wife and daughter by the City Central Crime Branch, they wanted to implicate him. The case pertained to the sale of a property by his wife to Prakash.


Mr. Thukkaiandi said that the authorities were trying to implicate him in this case and two other cases as he “did not oblige high officials” by filing a petition seeking further investigation into the disproportionate wealth case against the Chief Minister, which was pending before the Special Judge, Bangalore.


He said that the investigation, if allowed to be conducted by the State police, would not be fair, impartial and unbiased. He prayed for a direction to transfer the case to the CBI.
