Letters from Plath implicating Indian police enforcer (5)
I believe the answer is:
lathi
'letters' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I can't see how they can define each other.
'plath implicating indian police enforcer' is the wordplay.
'LATHI' is hidden within the letters.
However, I'm unsure how the hidden word is indicated.
'from' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for lathi that I've seen before include "instrument of punishment" , "may give wallop to dacoit" , "Weapon police may use" , "Long, heavy stick" , "Heavy iron-bound stick used for crowd control by police in India" .)
