DGP Jacob Thomas was once.a hero for many with his public appearance as a crusader against all sorts of corruption. His first and foremost target was to end corruption among IAS babus. But all his attempts have backfired. It is now the turn for Jacob Thomas to face enquiry against corruption. Chief Minister has issued direction to register a criminal case against him.
Thomas has erred by writing his autobiography without obtaining prior approval from the government. The enquiry, therefore, comes as a two sided. weapon, first as a police enquiry and second as a departmental action. Thomas' book 'Sravukalku Oppam Neenthumpol' (Swimming with the Sharks) containing. serious violation of discipline and service rules, has become costly to himself.
It is interesting to see that rule violation by Thomas would result in two years imprisonment or fine or both. A snake eating its own tail is what happening among Kerala bureaucrats.
