Cops or extortionists?
Perhaps Bangladesh is the only country in the world where cops are allegedly and reportedly involved in extortions. According to some national newspapers, cops often extort from truck and bus drivers on highways. Some cops forcibly extort in broad daylight from traders of Aminbazar in Savar near Dhaka. Surprisingly, no action is being taken against these alleged cases of extortion by cops.
It seems that extortion by cops is not considered a crime here in Bangladesh. If the law protectors turn into law breakers, a day will come when no one will abide by law.
