Apart from being Chennai’s police chief, he held different positions, including Deputy Inspector General of Police, CID, Inspector General of Police, Law and Order and DGP of the State, before his retirement 32 years ago. “An ardent sports fan, he played tennis and wouldn’t miss a cricket match on television,” said a statement from his family.
