THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: A report has been submitted by the Inspector General (IG) seeking action against SP Sudarshan, who had shown hesitation to arrest Hindu Aikya Vedi state president K P Sasikala. IG Vijay Sakhare submitted the report against SP Sudarshan, who was in charge of the security at Marakkoottam, to DGP Loknath Behara. Lokanath Behara is likely to seek an explanation from the SP.

SP Sudarshan had taken a stand that the arrest should be made by an officer in charge of a station. The report also says that the IG and SP had a clash over this issue. Sasikala was later arrested after bringing women police officers. IG's report also says that SP and DySP stayed away from the incident spot. KP Sasikala was arrested from Marakkoottam while she reached Sabarimala on November 16.
