He was previously given a guard of honour by the city police at the City Police Commissioner Office earlier today, and was greeted by police personnel.

At around 7.00 am, R.V. Ramya Bharathi took charge as the Superintendent of Coimbatore. She was previously serving as the Deputy Commissioner of Police (Crime) of Coimbatore.
