Chennai: An Inspector attached to the Tirukazhukundram police station in Chengalpattu district has been transferred to a vacancy reserve (VR) position after a video recording emerged in which he is seen engaged in an intimate video call with a woman.
Inspector Munisekar, who became infamous for accidentally shooting fellow Inspector Periyapandian to death when they went in search of a Rajasthan-based gang in connection with a jewellery heist case reported in the city a few years ago, has been shunted out after the viral video.
A departmental inquiry has been ordered based on a petition from a man to senior police officers in which he alleged that Munisekar has been in an affair with his wife and that he has been receiving threats after he came across obscene photos of the Inspector in his wife’s phone and confronted the officer over the phone.
The woman’s husband, in a complaint forwarded to DGP, North zone IG, DIG and SP, stated that he resided in Nelvayal village in Chengalpet district, with his wife of nine years and two children.
He also stated that his wife was frequently visiting her sister in Thirukazhunkundram and started acting distant with him and his children. The couple also fought often, he said, and added that he went through her mobile phone suspecting her of having an extramarital affair.
He found nude photographs of the Inspector and recordings of video calls between his wife and Munisekar.
‘Acting on the complaint, the Inspector has been transferred to vacancy reserve and an inquiry has been initiated. A police officer in the rank of Assistant Superintendent of Police recorded statement from the inspector,’ said P Vijayakumar, SP, Chengalpattu district.
