He had slept in his office overnight, with the early morning images he shared on social media going viral. He had lunch with a few staff members and left the unit by 4pm.

Earlier, Jacob Thomas had said that he would chalk out his next course of action, including a political analysis, as part of his academic research activities.

Many construed it as an inkling of his political plans, particularly as he was rumoured to have been in the fray during the last Lok Sabha elections as an independent candidate from Chalakudy.

The government, however, did not accept his request for voluntary retirement.
