Chennai: A sub-inspector allegedly killed a suspect at a police station in Tamil Nadu's Ramanthapuram district today, reportedly in an act of self-defence.

According to the police, 24-year-old Syed Muhammad Kattu Babu had been brought to the SP Pattinam police station following complaints of extortion against him. He allegedly stabbed the sub-inspector after the latter reportedly directed his colleagues to file a case against Babu under stringent provisions.

The injured policeman is being shifted to Madurai after he received preliminary treatment in Ramanathapuram.

Some activists have claimed that it is a clear case of murder by the police and they have sought a probe into the incident.
