Mumbai policeman suspended for threatening to implicate students in drug case

Mumbai Police driver Pawan Sangle was suspended for threatening to implicate detained protesting students in a fake drug trafficking case.

A video recorded by a student in a police van shows Sangle warning that he would plant drug packets in their pockets.

The Maharashtra home department confirmed the suspension and ordered an inquiry into the incident.

Opposition leaders, including Harshwardhan Sapkal, Uddhav Thackeray, Raj Thackeray, and Supriya Sule, demanded strict action and a wider probe.

The students were protesting over exam irregularities, and the controversy has raised concerns about police intimidation.
