Karnataka Suspends Police for Wrongfully Accusing Man of Murder
Imagine a man named Suresh was wrongly accused of killing his wife and put in jail for a long time.
The police thought his wife was dead, but she was actually with her boyfriend!
The government has now suspended three police officers involved in the false accusation.
