The posting of a police officer to the Nilgiris from the Satankulam police station,which is now in the news for the alleged custodial killing of a father-son duo, has raised eyebrows in the district.
Observers told The Covai Post here that Mr.Kumar who was working in Satankulam had been posted as the Additional Superintendent of Police (Prohibition) with Ooty as headquarters.
