LUCKNOW: A police head constable posted in Barabanki was suspended on Monday for his alleged involvement in the multi-crore animal husbandry contract racket.
SP Barabanki Arvind Chaturvedi told TOI that head constable Dil Bahar Yadav, 45, was suspended on the basis of a report of Lucknow police commissioner.
Yadav is accused of threatening to gun down Indore-based businessman Manjit Singh in a police encounter as well as holding him hostage. Singh was duped of Rs 9.7 crore after being promised a government contract worth Rs 292 core in the animal husbandry department.

So far, the Special Task Force has arrested seven accused, including a Noida-based journalist Anil Rai; Rajneesh Dixit, private secretary to minister of state of animal husbandry; Dheeraj Kumar, a contractual grade IV employee; Ashish Rai, AK Rajeev, Rupak Rai and Uma Shankar Tewari in connection with the scam.
