Senior IPS Officer T P Senkumar, who took charge as Kerala DGP (Law and Order) recently after a legal battle, on Monday met Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan.

Senkumar, removed from the post of DGP a few days after the CPI-M led LDF government came to power last year, was reinstated last week by the government following a Supreme Court directive on a petition filed by the Officer.

Emerging from the meeting, Senkumar, due to retire on June 30, said it was the duty of the police to implement government policy and law.
