The businessman, Rabiul Islam, has alleged that the cops had detained him illegally and told him to pay Rs 2.5 crore, failing which he would be killed in an encounter.
Nine police officers, including an IPS, have been arrested in Assam after a local businessman alleged that he was being extorted by them.
The businessman, Rabiul Islam, has alleged that the cops had detained him illegally and told him to pay Rs 2.5 crore, failing which he would be killed in an encounter. Mr Islam claimed that the police officers had threatened to justify his killing by framing him with "links to Pakistani and Bangladeshi jihadi elements".
In his complaint, the businessman alleged that the intimidation began on July 16, when police officers arrived at his house at around 1:30 AM, dragged him out, and began questioning him about drugs and cash.
