## Facing Police Corruption: A Guide for Indian Citizens
This article addresses common concerns faced by individuals dealing with potential police corruption in India. We explore questions like:
1. How can I prove a bribe demand from a police officer? I suspect the head constable is acting as a middleman for the Investigating Officer (IO).
2. Is it possible to settle a case before charges are filed in court?
3. My lawyer says he can’t do anything before the chargesheet is filed. Is he trying to extort money from me?
4. How can I seek compensation for false complaints filed against me?
5. The police have my mobile phone. Is there a link between my call data records (CDR) and my Instagram account?
6. Can CDR reveal the content of Instagram messages to prove I didn’t send any death threats?
Best Answer
Indian law prohibits police corruption and allows citizens to seek redressal. Evidence like audio recordings, witness statements, and official documents can be used to prove bribery. A lawyer’s advice should be sought, and a complaint can be filed with higher authorities or the Anti-Corruption Bureau.
