Jayaram Was Suspended After He Was Alleged to Have Played a Part in the Kidnapping of a 16-Year-Old Boy in May
NEW DELHI: The Supreme Court on Thursday refrained from interfering with the suspension of senior IPS officer and additional director general of police (ADGP) HM Jayaram in a kidnapping case involving a minor, even as it set aside the Madras High Court’s order that directed his arrest and requested the High Court chief justice to transfer the matter to another bench.
The top court said the matter now warranted a "dispassionate" investigation by a specialized agency, prompting the Tamil Nadu government to agree to hand over the probe to the Crime Branch-Criminal Investigation Department (CBCID), which it described as the "highest investigating body in the state."
