On 8 January 2025, Kanyakumari Superintendent of Police R. Stalin suspended a Special Sub-Inspector (SSI) on charges of corruption.
The action followed a complaint against Satheesh Kumar, the SSI of Suchindram police station, accusing him of accepting a bribe from a temple administrator.
A temple festival was being held in the Anju Kudiryiruppu area and devotional songs were played through loudspeakers. When Satheesh Kumar had come to the area during his patrol , he complained about being very loud and demanded a bribe.
A viral video circulating on social media showed the SSI receiving money from the temple official.
Following this, the district SP launched an investigation, which reportedly confirmed Satheesh’s involvement in corrupt practices. Consequently, the SP ordered his suspension from duty, a decision that has been widely appreciated.
