SHAN STATE- According to the Taunggyi drug dealers community, the police and police informers in Taunggyi city have been extorting money since the beginning of December.
It is said that policemen were extorting up to 100 lakhs without arresting the transporters and retailers.
A person close to the drug dealing community said, “They do not arrest the dealers but extorted up to 10 million kyats but it can be negotiated and settled at around 5 million kyats. The policemen are extorting about 30 million per night,” he said.
As the current leader of the drug-dealing control team, police chief Nay Lin Oo of the No. 1 police station and his 3 informants targeted restaurants, bars, clubs, and hotels to find the drug dealers.
In addition, they checked cars on busy roads, and framed up a conviction by putting the drugs themselves, said the informer.
Police Chief Nay Lin Oo and his team are moving around Taunggyi city every night in their cars, and drug dealers have warned young people to avoid them.
Among those currently arrested, most are weed (marijuana) and pills such as K and E, but other types are not included.
