TN IPS officer arrested in minor’s abduction case after HC order
In a shocking turn of events, Tamil Nadu Assistant Director General of Police (ADGP) HM Jayaram, an Indian Police Service (IPS) officer, was arrested on Monday in connection with a minor’s abduction case in Chennai. The arrest comes on the orders of the Madras High Court, which had directed the state police to take immediate action in the case.
The case relates to the kidnapping of a 12-year-old boy, who was abducted from Tiruvallur district on May 10. The boy was later found abandoned near a hotel, sparking a massive investigation by the police. The police had initially suspected a local gang of kidnappers, but as the investigation progressed, they discovered that the abduction was linked to a larger criminal network.
HM Jayaram, a 1991-batch IPS officer, was arrested on Monday evening from his residence in Chennai. He is currently being questioned by the police, who are investigating the role of high-ranking officials in the abduction case.
According to sources, Jayaram was arrested after the Madras High Court took cognizance of the case and directed the police to take immediate action. The court had expressed frustration over the slow progress of the investigation and the lack of arrests in the case.
The arrest of Jayaram has sent shockwaves through the state police department, with many officials expressing surprise and disbelief at the turn of events. Jayaram was considered a respected and experienced officer, known for his bravery and commitment to the police force.
The police investigation into the abduction case had revealed that the boy was kidnapped by a gang of criminals, who demanded a ransom from his parents. The police had initially received a ransom demand of 50 lakhs, but the family managed to negotiate the amount down to 20 lakhs.
The police investigation had also revealed that the abduction was linked to a larger criminal network, which was involved in several other crimes across the state. The police had arrested several suspects in connection with the case, but Jayaram’s arrest has revealed that some of the highest-ranking officials in the police department were also involved.
The arrest of Jayaram has raised several questions about the state of the police department in Tamil Nadu. Many have expressed concern over the lack of accountability and the presence of corruption in the department.
The case has also highlighted the need for greater transparency and accountability in the police department. The public has a right to know what is happening in their police department, and the police department has a duty to ensure that its officers are held accountable for their actions.
The arrest of Jayaram is a significant development in the case, and the police are expected to continue their investigation to uncover the full extent of the criminal network involved. The case is a reminder that no one is above the law, and that even the highest-ranking officials can be held accountable for their actions.
