Extortionists on roads in Birbhum district in August 2021 are West Bengal Police personnel and local rogues


Blatant extortion of money by West Bengal Police (in uniform) and 'her favorite brothers' continues unabated everywhere in Birbhum district on National Highways, state highways and PWD roads, irrespective of whether it's day or night. 
Even the private vehicle of TV journalists were compelled to pay illegal toll of ₹20 to cross a small bridge which has been declared unsafe. 
Little wonders that 5 lakhs out of the 6 odd lakh trucks in West Bengal have stopped operating, not necessarily because of fuel price hike. 
Police personnel and rogue extortionists resort to violence against those preferring to ignore their demands. 
It's but obvious that whopping sums of money reach the top echelons of the rulers of the state. 
The 11 minutes long sting video caught on camera by Republic Bangla channel in early August 2021.

Note: Even if you don't understand Bengali, watch the video in muted form. You will get a fair idea of the scary situation from the visuals.
