SC reinstates Kerala DGP, calls removal 'arbitrary'
Asserting that former Kerala police chief TP Senkumar was "arbitrarily" removed from the post, the Supreme Court on Monday reinstated him. The court set aside the state High Court's order upholding Senkumar's transfer from the post. The state government had earlier asserted that his transfer was a punishment for how he handled the fallout of the 2016 Puttingal Temple fire.
