Tamil Nadu BJP president K. Annamalai on Thursday requested the Tamil Nadu government to transfer the case relating to the fake passport scam to the CBI or the National Investigation Agency (NIA), and to suspend the police officers, who were involved, immediately.
He claimed that more than 200 fake passports were issued from Madurai during the period in which Additional Director General of Police (Intelligence) Davidson Devaasirvatham was the city commissioner.
While officials in the passport and post offices have given their consent for legal proceedings against their officials, consent for such action against the police officials was not granted, leading to hampering of the case trial and proceedings, Mr. Annamalai said, and added that it was evident that the probe lacked transparency due to the involvement of those implicated in the case.
