Indian police couple sacked for lying about Everest summit

A husband and wife duo have been removed from the police force for lying about becoming the first Indian couple to have climbed Mount Everest.

An internal departmental probe found that the couple had not only lied about the feat but had also circulated morphed photos to back their claim.

The two claimed they scaled Mount Everest in May last year.

Our India correspondent Neha Poonia reports.
