Humayon Bakhshi, a squad leader at 11th district police station, said in a video posted on social media that the district’s acting police chief and others were colluding with criminals including thieves and drug dealers.
“I was arresting the thieves and taking them to the station, but the station released them after taking money from them,” he said while his hand bleeding.
