Maharashtra Home Minister R R Patil has ordered suspension of 32 policemen after an activist caught them on camera allegedly accepting bribes to turn a blind eye to an illegal structure.

The policemen are from the Nehru Nagar police station in suburban Kurla.

The action follows an incriminating video that activist Kasim Shaikh had recorded at different periods between March 9 and March 26.

Though most of the suspended cops are constables, but those ranked above from the sub-inspector to inspector level have also faced action.
