Mangaluru, Aug 11: The suspension order against inspector T D Nagaraj for allegedly assaulting a lawyer has been revoked, sources said.
Nagaraj, who was serving as inspector at Kadri police station, had been suspended on July 31 after lawyers led by Mangaluru bar association president Chengappa held a strong protest alleging that he had detained and assaulted lawyer Uttam Rai when the latter had come with a client to Kadri police station.
The lawyers had demanded Nagaraj's arrest, and given three days' deadline to the police. However, Nagaraj was not arrested. Uttam Rai had also filed a case against Nagaraj on several charges and a counter case was also filed.
Also, it is learnt that Nagaraj has been shifted from Kadri police station and appointed as incharge of Bajpe police station.
The orders were issued by police commissioner on Tuesday August 11.
Mangaluru bar association president Chengappa criticized the move and said that the appointment of Nagaraj as incharge of Bajpe police station was condemnable.
