Udupi , Nov 13, 2019:   The  suspension of  Udupi SI Ananthapadmanabha and Head constable Jeevan Kumar  on the charges of   dereliction of duty  in connection with the recent Bhujanga Park moral policing incident, has kicked up a row with many including Udupi MLA Raghupathi Bhat opposing the suspension of the cops by Udupi SP Nisha James.

The SP has said she has  referred the case to Western Range IGP who is  expected to take a final decision in this regard.

It may be recalled here that a few organisations  had even threatened protest if the suspension order was not revoked.
