Former DGP A Hemachandra is set to be appointed as the Police Advisor to Home Minister Ramesh Chennithala. The appointment order is expected to be issued soon. Hemachandra, a 1986 batch IPS officer, retired in May 2020 as the chief of Fire Force and Rescue Department.
Hemachandra is best known for leading the SIT that investigated the controversial Solar scam case in Kerala. His appointment comes at a time when the Home Minister is focusing on policing reforms and addressing alleged political interference within the police force.
The video also discusses the recent eviction attempt at Malayidamthuruth in Kizhakkambalam, where police arrived with a court order to evict seven Dalit families. Following protests and intervention by the Home Minister, the eviction drive was halted. The incident has sparked political controversy, with Congress accusing CPM of orchestrating the eviction attempt after losing the assembly election.
