THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: Reports said that Nanda Kumar, who abused former chief minister Oommen Chandy's daughter Achu Oommen on Facebook, is an administrative officer in the IHRD. He was appointed to the post a month ago after retiring from government service.

There are allegations of political interference behind Nanda Kumar's appointment in the IHRD. He cyber-attacked Achu Oommen while the service rules were applicable. The police had earlier registered a case on Achu Oommen's complaint. However, Nanda Kumar has not been grilled yet.

The authorities had frozen the Facebook account of Nanda Kumar, former additional secretary at the Secretariat. He had two accounts on Facebook. In this, the account of Nandakumar Kolathappilly was frozen. It was through this account he insulted Achu Oommen.
