In India, if you take a round in the market, you will see policemen accepting bribes from tiffin carriers, vegetable vendors, fruit sellers, fish mongers and even from tea sellers. These poor men/women who earn very little are harassed and assaulted by the cops’ every day. And if you resist in giving the cops your money, you are beaten black and blue and a false case is registered against you. The very men who are supposed to uphold the laws are routinely found misusing their powers and do not respect the laws of the country.
