    what is there to probe. Just interdict the cop or ask the victim to return him a slap in public.

    Suspend the policeman and ask him to collect his salary from the Indian deputy high commission in H'thota.

    One slap and commission; murder, rape extrajudicial killing no commission or the president, prime minister etc willing to publicly announce protection from inquiries. What a joke!

    Power of the social media. In India, bribe taking cops were secretly filmed and images loaded into social media. As a result Cops are trying not to take bribe if that can be avoided.
