T. P. Sen Kumar
is one of the most distinguished and honest police officers in the history of
Kerala. He is widely regarded as an officer who gave positive meaning to
policing and upholds the cardinal principles of natural justice. He was
unjustifiably removed from the post of Director General of Police – DGP – by LDF
Government. Fortunately, the Supreme Court of India gave proper heeding to his
cause and ordered the Kerala Government to reinstate him. He retired from the service with his head high.
The case of
reinstatement of T. P. Sen Kumar will go down in the administrative history of
India as a bright case which should dissuade other state governments to punish
police officers and civil servants without any valid reasons.
T. P. Sen Kumar took an interesting stand on Sabarimala controversy. He advised the Kerala Government to concentrate on rebuilding lives of people affected by Kerala flood rather than going over the board for Sabarimala issue - build homes rather than building walls of women. He had also taken part in a peaceful protest by Ayappa devotees.

Profile of T. P. Sen Kumar
T. P. Sen Kumar
was born on 10th June, 1957 in Thrissur, Kerala. He completed
schooling from Thrissur and later took admission in the prestigious Christ
College, Irinjalakuda. He is a highly education person who holds degree in Law
and PG in Economics. After completing P.G. he appeared in the Indian Economic
Services Examination and cracked it in the very first attempt. During that very
time, he was also writing a thesis on road accidents in Kerala. While researching
about road accidents, he developed interests in the law and order issues and
decided to become a police officer. In the very next year – 1982 – he appeared
in the UPSC Civil Services Examination and cracked it. His rank was well enough
to get him IAS, but he decided to become an IPS officer (which was his first
choice among services). Fortunately, he also got his home state cadre.
T. P. Sen Kumar
started his career as Assistant Superintendent of Police in Kannur. Since then
there is no looking back for him. He has always remained a highly efficient
officer and credited with solving many cases apart from ensuring safety and
providing a sense of security to general public. When he became DGP, he was
little bit criticized for initial handling of Jisha rape and murder case. The police
took little bit more time to crack the case. The LDF Government took this high
profile case as an excuse to remove him. It is, in fact, quite outrageous that
a DGP is being punished for delayed results in a case.
