Chennai, June 28: Inspector General of Police (Training) K Muthukaruppan has been placed under suspension by the Tamil Nadu government. Muthukaruppan, former police commissioner of Chennai, was served suspension orders last night, official sources said today.
The reason for the suspension was not immediately known.
In April last, officials of the Directorate of Vigilance and Anti Corruption (DVAC) had reportedly conducted raids in his house in the city in connection with complaints of alleged acquisition of wealth, disproportionate to his known sources of income.
Jayalalithaa government earlier, two years ago, had refused to oblige the Centre to shift Muthukaruppan to the central services.
