A Kerala Police officer has been suspended for misusing the phone of an accused.

The phone of a man named Jithin, who was in police custody for a crime, is said to have been stolen by senior civil police officer Abhilash with force.

In order to exert pressure on Jithin, the policeman utilized some videos of a woman from her phone. She works overseas and is a good friend of Jithin’s.
