THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: M R Ajith Kumar has been shifted from the post of central sports officer of the police department. S Sreejith has now replaced him. The backdoor appointment of bodybuilders in the department had stoked a controversy. In this situation, Ajith Kumar had written a letter to shift him from the post.
The central sports officer should move the file of appointments in the sports quota. It was earlier decided to appoint two bodybuilders in the rank of police inspector. The home department had also sent a letter to the DGP in this regard. In the letter, it was directed to make the appointment by relaxing the criteria.
However, there was a big controversy when news came that bodybuilders were being appointed by excluding many sportspersons decided by the government. M R Ajith Kumar was removed after this.
