The state has also requested the Centre to order a probe into the origin of the letters, he said.
State Director General of Police has been directed to investigate about the letters that were received by the Home Ministry recently, Achuthanandan said replying to a question.
The two letters in the name of the Kerala CM and the Home Minister requested Chidambaram not to consider any candidates from the list of superintendents of police to the posts of IPS as there was no vacancy in the state.
The letter also bears the seal of the state Home Minister, government sources said.
