September 30th, 2011 - 6:33 pm ICT by IANSLucknow, Sep 30 (IANS) Four policemen were Friday suspended in Uttar Pradesh’s Sitapur district for dumping the body of a youth in a river without making any efforts to ascertain his identity, an official said.
The four policemen, including an inspector and a sub-inspector besides two constables, had dumped the body of the youth recovered Thursday from near the railway tracks in Biswan neighbourhood.
“The insensitive nature of the policemen was brought to my knowledge by local social activists. On the basis of a preliminary probe, all the four policemen were placed under suspension,” Superintendent of Police Piyush Mordiya told reporters in Sitapur, some 80 km from Lucknow.
