An Inspector of the Crime Branch of Raipur police was on Monday put under suspension for allegedly misbehaving with women journalists outside a local court.

Inspector Gaurav Tiwari is said to have misbehaved with three media persons when they tried to talk to journalist Vinod Verma, who has been arrested in connection with the sensational sex CD case, reportedly involving a state minister.

As Verma emerged out of the court after being produced there and was being taken to the police vehicle, the women journalists tried to talk to him, but Verma tried to stop them, pushing them away physically.

Local journalists also marched up to the Civil Lines in the Chhattisgarh capital.
