New Delhi: K Vijay Kumar, Senior Security Advisor (SSA) to the Ministry of Home Affairs, has expressed his unwillingness to continue in the post due to personal reasons.
Confirming the development, Kumar said that he had left for Chennai and officially communicated his decision to the Home Ministry. Sources also confirmed that the hunt for a new advisor has begun. Kumar had also served as Advisor in J&K.
A top-level official said Kumar vacated his Delhi accommodation a few weeks ago and is not holding any office now. Almost four weeks ago, he had given a lecture at the Lal Bahadur Shastri National Academy of Administration and later put in his papers.
Sources claimed he stepped down and then went back to Chennai due to personal reasons. The officer, who had been handling and advising the Government on issues of Left Wing Extremism (LWE), had been missing from some key meetings held at the top level in the past few weeks.
