Answer 1

Hey friend !

Here's my guess :

When the police asked the two constable's to take an FIR at the place of murder . They didn't went their but reported an fake FIR. The police might caught them by the reason they said .... , a news paper was opened as pages 9-10.

Explanation :

Here we can see that the constables fake FIR had an mistake of newspaper . As we know that newspaper contains the numbers of pages on both sides. Same as , 9-10 pages contains on both opposite sides of newspaper which means that it cannot be opened at the same time.
By this , Inspector might guessed that their FIR is fake one .

Answer 2

The police officer knew that the report was fake as the newspaper can never be opened on pages 9 and 10
