As a top cop, it might have been part of his duty to meddle with the things going on around him. But his habit of meddling is still continuing after retirement also! Given to his penchant for landing in controversy, it is not at all surprising that a former director general of police is taking 'interest' in the appointment of the new chief secretary of Andhra Pradesh.

Grapevine is that this die-hard meddler is lobbying for certain candidates and also against some others for the chief secretary post. A few weeks earlier, this former cop was taking an active interest in the selection of a new director general of police. However, it seems he was backing a wrong horse because somebody else became the top cop. Albeit, the unrelenting cop is continuing to meddle with the affairs of the state undeterred.
