A senior police officer confirmed the suspension of the two officers who had stated in the custody application that the three Youth Congress workers -- Al Ameen Ashraf, M A K Najeeb and Anas Pallikkuzhi -- who protested outside the Aluva police station, had terror links.
He said the action was taken based on a report submitted by a DySP as directed by the State Police Chief.
A senior officer from Munambam would be carrying out a departmental inquiry in the matter, he said.
The report was sought after Aluva MLA Anwar Sadath complained against the allegations made in the custody application.
