Thiruvananthapuram, Nov 10: The Kerala government on Wednesday suspended Inspector General of Police (IG) G.Lekshmana for his alleged close links with fake antique dealer Monson Mavunkal. Lakshmana has been suspended from service for his connection with fake antique dealer Monson Mavunkal on the basis of an enquiry report conducted by the Crime Branch. Lekshmana is the first head to roll in the case. Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan on Wednesday put his signature on Lekshmana's suspension note for his alleged close links with Mavunkal, who is currently in judicial custody. Lekshmana, presently heading Traffic Department, was all set to be promoted to the rank of Additional Director General of Police in January and after this action it is unlikely that he will be promoted. Ever since the 54-year-old Mavunkal was arrested by the Crime Branch from his home-cum-'museum' at Kochi in September after victims approached Vijayan with their complaints that they were swindled of Rs 10 crore by this "master fraud", the name of Lekshmana and his alleged close links surfaced.
