They would then charge money to local people coming into the fake station to file complaints and cases, while pocketing cash from others by promising to help them secure social housing or jobs in the police.

So they blended in by acting exactly like the real police.

A gang of criminals in India’s Bihar state established a fake police station just down the road from a real one, and operated the faux precinct for eight months.

With such a perceptive police, the bad guys beware.

Honest people too…

Did anyone check to see if they are replicants? I’m reading Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep and just got past the section about the fake police station.

The scammers were suspended with pay, then transferred to a fake police station in an adjacent county.
