Lessons from the story about Bengaluru Techie being extorted by rogue cops - Use social media judiciously to help those in need

His Twitter thread explained how he was illegally detained and extorted by cops while returning home after a late-night shift. The two cops on night duty allegedly planted a small twig of ganja (marijuana) in the youth’s bag and threatened to implicate him in a drug related case.
