Kodinar: Two days after being booked for attempting to murder two staffers at Gadoi Toll Plaza on National Highway 8D in Junagadh, Inspector R. Bhojani from Kodinar police station was suspended from duty on Tuesday.

Bhojani, who is currently absconding, allegedly attacked toll plaza staff along with a group of 20 people.

Subsequently, Bhojani and others purportedly attempted to run their vehicle over Bhavesh and the toll plaza supervisor Rajesh. The accused also allegedly threatened the duo with death and physically assaulted them using wooden sticks and steel pipes.
