IPS officer PS Natarajan, who was suspended in connection with a sex scandal showed by TV channels, was on Saturday dismissed from services, a senior official in the home department said on Saturday.
“He has been dismissed with immediate effect,” the officer told PTI.
Two TV channels showed a footage of the 1975 batch IPS officer in a compromising position with a married tribal woman on July 30, 2005.
This led to his suspension, filing of an FIR against him and his subsequent surrender before a local court in connection with the case, sources said.
Natarajan was not available for comment. However, the daughter of a class three state government employee, the woman faces charges of having Maoist link.
