Controversy
Main article: Intelligence Bureau (India) § ISRO spy ring case

He was caught in a controversy following his alleged involvement in the ISRO spy ring case in the 1990s.[6][7] Later, Supreme Court of India dismissed the case for being vague and baseless. He also dragged serious controversies over his alleged order, during his time in the State of Kerala as the Deputy Inspector General of Police, to the junior police officers, namely ASP Sandhya, to fire which resulted in the killing of an 11-year-old girl Sirajunnisa [8]
