Former Additional Director General of Police (ADGP), law and order, M.R. Ajith Kumar, who is at the centre of a sprawling anti-corruption enquiry, has testified that the “bogus charges” against him sprang from political vendetta, discord within the State law enforcement and the ire of anti-national elements disgruntled over the crack down on contraband gold smuggling and hawala rackets in North Kerala.
Mr. Ajith Kumar’s contentious declaration emerged in the public domain on Friday after a special court here rebuffed the Vigilance and Anti-Corruption Bureau (VACB) preliminary enquiry report exonerating the high-ranking officer from any wrongdoing, including accusations of illegal amassment of wealth, unlawful felling of valuable timber from government property and profiting from contraband gold and hawala interdictions.
