CASE AGAINST COPS: Two police inspectors, booked for implicating a colleague, were given in police custody for interrogation till Wednesday. The two police officials were arrested last week after an additional district and sessions court denied them pre-arrest bail.

The judge granted his application and ordered the registration of FIRs against the ACLC men. While remanding the two inspectors to police custody, the judge also ordered the investigation officer to arrest the SP, DSP and the PDSP.
