Rejanish, found former Kerala DGP guilty in a disproportionate-assets case pending for nearly two decades and sentenced him to four years' rigorous imprisonment with a Rs 30.84 lakh fine. The court held he acquired houses, flats and other properties worth Rs 64,70,891 during 01-01-2003 to 04-07-2007, 135.80% in excess of his known sources of income, rejecting his defence of family partition and gifts. [name withheld], who rose to DGP even as the vigilance probe progressed, is the first Kerala officer to retire as DGP and then be sentenced to imprisonment; only ex-IG [name withheld] preceded him as a jailed Kerala IPS officer.",
