Four urban management officers in Tongchuan were suspended for taking a peddler, who they claimed was conducting business illegally on a street, and abandoning him in a forest as punishment, South China Metropolis Daily reported on Wednesday.

The peddler, surnamed Cheng, waited five hours in the forest for urban management staff to take up him back to Tongchuan before making a phone call to the local TV station, which exposed the case.
