The committee appointed by the state government following the death of constable, P Muralinath, consists of Principal Secretary Ramakanth Reddy, Home secretary Ajay Mishra and Director General of Police S S P Yadav.

The committee also founded fault with deputing a 40-year-old P Muralinath, a constable of the State Armed Reserve who was working for no less than Additional Director General of Police Vivek Dube who heads the state’s anti-terror force Octopus.

The committee felt that the orderly system has become common practice for most of the officials. However, several officials who retired almost a decade ago are using the services of the homeguards and constables. Keeping in view the security of officers, bullet proof cars and constables are sometimes assigned to work for recently retired officials.
