Govindan are anything to go by, the ruling front support for Mr. Ajith Kumar appears to be waning. Mr. Govindan noted the State Police Chief headed the inquiry against the ranking officer and denied any conflict of interest in Mr. Ajith Kumar continuing in high office.

Mr. Ajith Kumar has reportedly sought administrative sanction and support to hold those who raised the allegedly muckraking accusations against him legally liable if the government inquiry absolves him of wrongdoing.
