Senior IPS officer and Additional Director General of Police H.M.

He was picked up by the police following an order of the Madras High Court.
The suspension order was issued by the Home Department of the Tamil Nadu government. He was picked up by Tiruvallur district police personnel when he came out of the High Court premises on Monday.

After his statement was recorded, police took him to Thiruthani DSP office. Mr. Jayaram is likely to be produced before a judicial magistrate court in Thiruthani.
On Tuesday, Mr. Jayaram moved the Supreme Court seeking stay of the order issued by the Madras High Court.
