Telangana Police suspended Shabad Sub-Inspector Ramesh after six murders in Daivalaguda village, amid criticism that lapses in handling a prior POCSO case against suspect Rajkumar allowed him to remain free.

Hyderabad: The Telangana Police have placed the Shabad Sub-Inspector, Ramesh under suspension in connection with the six murders reported from Daivalaguda village in Shabad mandal of Rangareddy district, following allegations of lapses in handling an earlier case against the suspect.
