This move comes after Thangavel’s dramatic arrest last Wednesday to interrogate him further.
The police believe they have incriminating evidence against Thangavel in light of information given by red sander smugglers Nagendran and his wife Jothi Lakshmi of Alagiri Nagar in Sathuvachari who were arrested three weeks ago.
The couple have confessed to have been acting in collusion with the former DSP.
“Once we have (Thangavel)in custody, we will try and get answers to many questions about the network, his role and how long he has been associated with the smugglers,” said a police official adding they are awaiting the court’s order.
Police investigating the murder of a red sander smuggler, Chinnapaiyan, last month, unearthed the nexus between the smugglers and former DSP Thangavel.
Following that, the Ambur police arrested Jothi Lakshmi, her husband Nagendran and four of their associates.
