&#8216;corrupt&#8217;.<br \/>&#8220;Sindh police is so corrupt that they stop you after 50 km and ask for money or they threat you to go to the police station&#8230;,&#8221; he posted.<br \/>Later Tuesday, a statement from Sindh police said four police officers had been found to have been involved in the incident.<br \/>&#8220;Legal action has been initiated,&#8221; the statement said, adding
