Kanpur: Eight police personnel, including four sub-inspectors, were suspended for allegedly filing a fake FIR with serious charges of criminal house trespass, extortion and rioting against eight innocent persons, and sending them to jail, a senior police official said on Friday.
The cops, who were suspended on Thursday, were all posted at the Ghatampur Kotwali police station.
Charges found true
Police said a preliminary inquiry against the eight officers -- sub-inspectors Jaiveer Singh, Sankit Taugad, Ashish Chowdhry and Shivsharan Sharma, head constable Pratham Singh and constables Jitendra, Kuber and Pankaj Singh -- found the charges to be true. (with Agency inputs)
