The deputy party chief of Guangdong police, who oversaw the security of China's top leaders in the province, is being investigated for alleged corruption by military graft busters, mainland media reports.
Major General Cai Guangliao, of the People’s Armed Police, was taken away by investigators of the Commission for Discipline Inspection of the Central Military Commission at the end of October on suspicion of discipline violations, the financial news service Caixin reported.
It is still unclear about the specific allegations that Cai is facing, but he was removed from his posts as a member of Guangdong People’s Political Consultative Conference as well as deputy director of its social and legal commission, Legal Evening News reported, citing a decision by the Standing Committee of the advisory body yesterday.
Cai, 57, had served in the provincial public security department since 1977 and became head of the department's guard bureau – an armed police agency in charge of the safety of top leaders – in the province in 1995.
In 2003, he was named as a deputy director of the provincial party committee’s general office.
