A Special Investigation Team led by DIG Thomson Jose inquired into the disruption of the Thrissur Pooram.
The report was submitted to Crime Branch ADGP H Venkitesh in February and forwarded to the government through the Director General of Police.
The report states that the Devaswom did not follow decisions taken at review meetings chaired by the District Collector and the Police Commissioner on the day of the Pooram.
Thiruvambady Devaswom has rejected the report. Its secretary K Girish Kumar said it distorted facts.
The Devaswom has demanded a comprehensive reinvestigation.
