In a shocking revelation, four policemen have been suspended for allegedly planting a pistol in a youth's car to frame him in a false case.
Dinesh Kumar, the father of the youth, Amit, claimed that his son was returning from a function on July 21 when the police stopped his car in a market area and forcibly placed the pistol inside. Amit was subsequently arrested and jailed.
