TRIVANDRUM: The cleansing act began in the police force as three officers from the Trivandrum district were sacked from service. Former Sreekaryam SHO Abhilash David, traffic station officer Reji David, and Nanadhavanam AR camp driver Sheri S raj, were the three dismissed from service. It was city police commissioner CH Nagaraju who issued a circular stating the dismissal of the three officers.

Just days before, Abhilash David was suspended for having illegal tie-ups with criminal gangs in the city. Another case of sexual offense was previously charged against him. Reji David also got mired in sexual offense charges before. The commissioner taking up the issue asked for a proper explanation from the accused three officers. The explanation was not deemed satisfying which resulted in the ousting.
