THREE NOIDA policemen were on Thursday suspended on charges of extorting money from a businessman.

Satish Bhatti, a businessman from Dadri, had come to Noida on August 28 in his car on a business trip. While returning near Nithari, constables Rajesh Kumar, Pawan Singh and Abdul Gaffar chased his car in another car, forcing him to stop, the police said, quoting the trader.

Making false allegations that he possessed narcotics, they demanded Rs 3 lakh from him. When he said he was not carrying such an amount, the constables searched his bag and took away Rs 1 lakh, the police said.
