A vigilance court convicts former Kerala Director General of Police (DGP) Tomin J. Thachankary in a disproportionate assets case, sentencing him to four years in jail. The court also imposes a fine of ₹30.84 lakh, and Thachankary is to be shifted to Thiruvananthapuram Central Jail.
The case was registered in 2007 by the Vigilance and Anti-Corruption Bureau. Prosecutors allege that Thachankary accumulated assets that were disproportionate to his known sources of income between January 2003 and July 2007. In describing the allegations, reports consistently reference the same time period and the core claim of mismatch between assets and income.
Across the outlets, the emphasis differs mainly in phrasing and the level of detail provided. One report foregrounds the conviction and sentencing outcome, while another highlights that the finding is tied to allegations of assets around ₹64 lakh being disproportionate. All accounts agree on the court conviction, the jail term, the fine amount, and that the dispute centers on assets accumulated between 2003 and 2007.
