After failing to respond to the first notice issued by the Directorate of Civil Rights Enforcement in connection with the fake caste certificate case, officials issued a second notice to IPS officer M. Kempaiah (retd) on Tuesday .
Sources said Mr. Kempaiah had received the first notice and assured the officer that he would come. As he failed to appear, the officials pasted the second notice notice outside his house .
Director-General of DCRE Ravindranath said the notice is to give Mr. Kempaiah an opportunity to clarify the allegation against him. If he fails to turn up, officials will take a decision without his version, he said .
