Tomin Thachankari to remain in Thachankari Jail; High Court hearing on stay of sentence postponed

Former DGP Tomin J. Thachankari will continue to remain in the Poojappura Central Jail following the sentence passed by the Kottayam Vigilance Court in the illegal property accumulation case. The High Court has postponed the hearing regarding Thachankari's plea to stay the sentence and grant bail until Thursday. The state government strongly opposed Thachankari's plea, stating that the case is not ordinary and involves the misuse of high office.
