PALAKKAD: Senior IPS officer Jacob Thomas said the government decision to demote him to ADGP designation is discriminatory.

"There will be losses when you fulfil your responsibility towards society. A citizen should abide by what a government says. There is value even for the post of police SI. I am ready to even welcome that. It isn't nice to swim with sharks. Actions against me are a message. Whether it's a good message is a subject for thought", he told while addressing the media.
