Kancheepuram Deputy Superintendent of Police (DSP) M. Sankar Ganesh was on Monday ordered to be remanded in judicial custody by the Principal District and Sessions Judge for his alleged wilful failure to take action in a case booked under the Scheduled Castes and the Scheduled Tribes (Prevention of Atrocities) Act, 1989.
Passing orders, the judge directed his staff to take the DSP in his official car to the sub-jail located on the campus. However, high drama unfolded as the DSP did not board the car. Instead, accompanied by a few police personnel, he was seen sprinting towards another vehicle. This led to apprehensions that he had escaped. However, half-an-hour later, he emerged in a police vehicle and proceeded to the sub-jail. Subsequently, he was taken to hospital for a medical check-up. Some police officers reportedly resisted his remand.
