BENGALURU: A head constable attached to Vijayapura police station in Bengaluru Rural district has been suspended for apathy and negligence. He had directed a few farmers who caught a thief last week to bring him to the police station instead of rushing to the spot and arresting him.
In the early hours of June 23, farmers from Yambrahalli near Devanahalli caught a 55-year-old habitual offender while he was stealing cables and other materials used for fencing agricultural lands.
