JAMMU, Sept. 20 -- Authorities have suspended three police officers, including SHO Channi Himmat, Inspector Deepak Pathania, Incharge Police Post Sainik Colony, PSI Waseem Bhatti, and PSI Rohit Sharma, over alleged lapses in handling the case of a Mumbai woman's killing and injuries to two others in the Sainik Colony area last month.

Police sources confirmed that the suspension followed revelations that the victim, 30-year-old Mehjabeen Akil Sheikh from West Malad, Mumbai, died of bullet injuries and not from a road accident, contrary to initial reports. The officers are being investigated for their alleged failure to properly handle and report the case.
