India, where cops can be worse than criminals...

For Chunchun Kumar of Bihar's Nawada district, it was just another evening as he lounged around at a tea stall in his village along with a friend. 

But, then something happened that changed his life. 

"It was 17 March of this year. There were six of them. When we first saw them, they were beating up the temple priest. He was lying on the ground, they were kicking and punching him," Kumar says. 

"Then they started hitting two other men. Then they came into the tea shop and they beat us black and blue. Then they fired at us." 

Kumar lifts up his shirt to show a bullet mark on his abdomen. The wound is still oozing. 

The perpetrators were no ordinary criminals. More...
