The Kerala Police may soon initiate departmental action against a civil police officer, accused of aiding Pulsar Suni, aka Sunil Kumar, prime accused in the abduction and sexual assault of a female actor in Kochi.
“The officer will be suspended pending inquiry and further action will be initiated thereafter. A recommendation to take action against him at the department level has been submitted to the higher authorities,” sources said.
Civil police officer Aneesh, attached to the Kalamassery A.R. Camp, was arrested and released on bail on Saturday night following allegations that he had helped Suni contact actor Dileep and his close aide Nadirsha.
During investigation, the police examined phone conversations of all the policemen who had escorted Suni between the prison and the court on different occasions and zeroed in on Aneesh upon finding that Suni had used his phone to contact Dileep.
During interrogation, the civil police officer confessed to handing over his phone on a request by Suni to contact his family.
