Demanding Bribes A Birth Right

The two policeman checking were talking in a very coercive manner to the boys and threatened to throw them into jail. One or two of them got slapped.

Police these days do not shy away from demanding bribes openly. In fact, it is amusing to see how these people believe it is their right to extort money. A spectator of one such incident from Churu (Rajasthan) narrates the way these policeman throw their weight around and fleece a group boys of a little more than money.
