India Today investigation exposes Uttar Pradesh's cash-for-encounter raj

An India Today investigation has exposed India's most populous state Uttar Pradesh's rogue cops, who stage encounters for a price.

Staged shootouts appear to be a shortcut to promotions, bribes and fawning publicity for some Uttar Pradesh police officials, if not all, as the number of people killed in police encounters climbed to over 60 under the Yogi Adityanath government.
