Police interrogations not for Guinness records: Senkumar
In a scathing attack against his former superior, Thachankary said it was not right to try tarnishing the police force's image after enjoying all benefits the department had to offer. The officer also said he is waiting for his retirement to respond to some of the allegations raised against him.

During a recent talk show Senkumar criticised the LDF government's decision to appoint Thachankary as ADGP at the police headquarters, saying “the government chose a butcher when it needed a surgeon".
