Cops 'abruptly withdraw' security to retired Kerala HC judge

The Kerala police on Saturday "abruptly withdrew" security provided to retired High Court judge Justice B Kemal Pasha, who had been vocal against the CPI(M)-led LDF government's 'failure' in handling various cases, sources said here.

Justice Kemal Pasha said four armed police guards deputed for his personal security were withdrawn by the government.

When contacted, he told PTI, "The decision was taken at the Home Secretary level on Friday. The police personnel left me ending their service today (Saturday)."
