High Court recently made scathing remarks on his dealings with senior officers
The Crime Branch (CB) probing the cases against alleged fraudster and self-styled ‘antiquities dealer’ Monson Mavunkal has recorded the statements of senior police officers, including former State Police Chief Loknath Behera.
Additional Director General of Police (ADGP) Manoj Abraham and Inspector General of Police Gokulath Lakshmana were the other top-ranking officers whose statements were recorded.
This was in the wake of the High Court’s recent scathing remarks on Monson’s alleged connections with senior police officers, while hearing a petition by his former driver Aji Nettoor about police harassment.
Capt. Brijesh Chowta, Dakshina Kannada MP, on Saturday urged Union Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman to facilitate speeding up of ongoing critical infrastructure works in the region, including Mangaluru-Bengaluru NH 75 widening, establishment of Indian Coast Guard Academy, and merger of Konkan Railway Corporation with the Indian Railways.
