Bomb attack on judge; 3 cops suspended

Faizabad, June 2 (UNI) Three policemen were today suspended for alleged laxity in the incident of a bomb attack on an additional district judge here yesterday.

Officiating district magistrate Narendra Singh Patel and police superintendent (city) B D Shukla said a magisterial inquiry had been ordered in the incident.

Additional district judge -- officiating as Gangster court judge -- Vinod Kumar Mishra had a narrow escape, when an undertrial Triyug Narain -- standing in the witness box -- hurled a crude bomb at him during his case hearing.

The judge escaped unhurt, since the bomb was defused before it could explode near him.

Meanwhile, the judge has been provided with a police gunner.
