TIRUVANNAMALAI: Additional Superintendent of Police (ADSP), Prohibition and Enforcement Wing (PEW), Tiruvannamalai, Doraisamy has been suspended following an order from the State Government for filing a false case on a theft case in 2004. The suspension order was issued at the time, but the ADSP had obtained a stay-order from the courts which was set aside on Wednesday.
“We have served the suspension order to the ADSP on Wednesday,” said Superintendent of Police of Tiruvannamalai J Mutharasi.
Sources in the department said that when Doraisamy was working as Inspector of Police attached to Tiruvannamalai Town Station in 2004, a robbery took place in VBC Jewellery. He reportedly threatened the shop owner V Sundara Rajan and obtained statement from him that “no robbery took place in his shop.”
The jewellery-shop owner, V Sundara Rajan, engaged the services of a carpenter, Thiyagu and his assistant, Dakshinamurthy, both residents of Arni, to renovate the shop during Pongal in 2004. The two carpenters intending to rob the jewellery shop hid in the shop after work on January 16. They stole 600 grams of jewels, worth around Rs 12 lakh at the time, and Rs 5 lakh cash from the shop and sneaked out using the keys of the rear door. The following day, the shop owner filed a complaint with the then Inspector Doraisamy, who along with the then Sub-Inspector Ramesh, conducted an inquiry.
The two inspectors allegedly threatened Sundara Rajan and obtained a written statement from him stating he had filed a false complaint.
Meanwhile, Chengam police arrested the two accused four months after the robbery and the stolen jewels and cash were recovered.
Following a media report, State Human Rights Commission had taken suo moto cognizance of the case. Sundara Rajan told Express that the Tiruvannamalai Jewellers Association had filed a case against the police officers in Madras HC in 2005.
