Thudiyalur Police Inspector Sukumaran was the investigating officer in the murder case of one Subramani in 2010 on the city outskirts, and four persons were arrested in this connection.
The Additional District Court had sent summonses to Sukumaran, who is now working as DySP in Thiruvarur district, 15 times but he failed to appear.
Judge G Vijaya issued the arrest warrant against Sukumaran.
