JAMMU, Sep 20 (PTI): Three policemen were suspended after a probe into the death of a woman here last month revealed that she died of gunshot wounds and not in a road accident, an officer said on Saturday.

On August 21, Mehjabeen Akil Sheikh, 30, a resident of Mumbai, her sister Fatima, 21, and Jaspreet Kour, 28, of Ludhiana were brought to a private nursing home on the outskirts of Jammu by two men, who claimed that they had sustained injuries in a road accident on the Ring road.

On August 29, Mehjabeen Sheikh succumbed at the Government Medical College (GMC) Hospital.
