Two police officers — a husband and wife — have been suspended in India for falsely claiming they scaled Mount Everest in Nepal in May, police said yesterday.
Nepal’s government earlier canceled the climbing certificates issued to Dinesh Rathod and Tarkeshwari Rathod after it found they had presented a fake photograph of themselves on Everest’s summit.
Fellow climbers said the couple never reached the summit and altered someone else’s photographs to earn their climbing certificates. The couple has stayed away from work since the controversy erupted in May.
