Madhu death case: PSI, constable suspended

Raichur: Raichur Superintendent  of Police (SP) D Kishore Babu has suspended a PSI and a constable in connection with the mysterious death case of engineering student Madhu Pattar.

The arrested are Police Sub Inspector (PSI) of women’s police station B B Mariyam and police constable Ananjaneya.
