Jacob Thomas IPS, the troubleshooter turned troublemaker officer of government of Kerala, initially placed all his loyalty on chief minister Pinarayi Vijayan under the presumption that he was the last action hero against corruption. With what was called yellow card, red card he boasted in channels that he was going to fight against corruption.
As a part of his fight against corruption he raided the residence of Chief Secretary KM Abraham, who was working in a higher position and that too was in the absence of Abraham and scared of his aging parents. The incident turned out as a bark on the wrong tree. The cunning political leadership who always played it safe, realized this stupidity and decided it was better to corner Jacob Thomas.
In the case of EP Jayarajan's cousin's appointment, rather than intelligently intervening, he placed emphasis on unnecessary initial publicity. He forgot that the ban on corruption is not just a sham. The book "Swim with sharks" is not pleasing to the government.
However, in the last days of his service, the government showed him injustice. The world is vast and the future is long. Let Jacob Thomas launch his crusade against corruption. Evidences in plenty can be found in his personal file.
