Andhra IPS officer PV Sunil Kumar (IPS:1993:AP) seems to be heading for more trouble as the state government has appointed Special Chief Secretary(Revenue) RP Sisodia (IAS:1991:AP) as the Inquiring Authority to investigate the charges against him. Director General of Vigilance and Enforcement Harish Kumar Gupta (IPS:1992:AP) has been named as the Presiding Officer.
It was made public through a Government Order, issued by Chief Secretary K Vijayanand (IAS:1992:AP), on Friday.
Sunil Kumar is facing charges of misconduct when he was Additional Director General of Police (CID). He is alleged to be responsible for the custodial torture of then Member of Parliament and present Deputy Assembly Speaker, K Raghu Ramakrishna Raju.
As Sunil Kumar had denied the charges, the government decided to conduct a regular inquiry under Rule 8(2) of the All India Services (Discipline & Appeal) Rules, 1969. Accordingly, Sisodia was appointed as the Inquiring Authority and Gupta as the Presiding Officer.
