Kerala HC reserves order on Thachankary’s plea for suspension of sentence in disproportionate assets case

The Kerala High Court has reserved its verdict on former Director General of Police Tomin J. Thachankary’s plea for suspension of sentence in the disproportionate assets case.

Justice A. Badharudeen had earlier allowed the State to file its objection to the application seeking suspension of sentence in the appeal filed by Thachankary against the sentence by the Vigilance Court, Kottayam. The trial court had found Thachankary guilty of amassing disproportionate wealth during his tenure as Inspector General from 2003 to 2007.

The Vigilance and Anti-Corruption Bureau had filed a chargesheet stating that Thachankary had amassed assets to the tune of ₹64 lakh in addition to his declared sources of income.
