Eleven Bengaluru police personnel, including an inspector, were suspended for allegedly colluding with drug peddlers. Investigations revealed they collected “protection money” and partied with the peddlers, enabling them to sell banned sedative tablets freely. A departmental inquiry is in progress.
Nine policemen in Thane were suspended after a probe found negligence during escort of seven undertrial prisoners to a hospital. Two prisoners went missing temporarily, and officers failed to supervise properly, leading to disciplinary action.
