Kerala High Court Seeks Response on Corruption Allegations Against DGP
· India · The Hindu, Indian Express
The Kerala High Court issued a notice to the Director of the Vigilance and Anti-Corruption Bureau and DGP S. Sreejith regarding a petition alleging systemic corruption. Filed by an assistant motor vehicles inspector, the petition claims Sreejith engaged in illicit activities, including forming an unofficial squad to victimise staff during his time as Transport Commissioner. The plea further alleges that the officer holds benami assets, including a spa in the UAE, and participated in money laundering. The petitioner contends that a previous government report clearing the officer of wrongdoing was insufficient and lacked a thorough investigation.
Why it matters
The court's intervention forces a formal legal review of corruption allegations against a senior police official, potentially impacting the integrity of the state's anti-corruption oversight.
