Asked how he would deal with the situation in Mangaluru considered as a sensitive area, the new Police Commissioner said  a place will be considered sensitive  owing to various reasons. More than  trying to know the reasons behind the same and also to find out  who are responsible for making it a sensitive area, sadly there is much discussion about police and intelligence failure, Murugan said adding “When police act  according to the course of the law, some may like it and some may not. But we have to do our duty,” he said.

 Earlier outgoing Commissioner R Hithendra entrusted charge to S Murugan who is the fourth Police Commissioner of Mangaluru. Seemanth Kumar Singh, Manish Kharbikar and Hithendra were the earlier  Commissioners successively.
