yes its true they are way way corrupt and they can kill anyone for as little as 25k ... look we need to increase their real income, hospitals and education must be free and house must be provided, after all this is covered they still need to pay for their food travel and entertainment .. money should be enough to cover all this 1 meat one chicken and rest lentils or vegetables.. lastly fruits so make a budget for them and set their pay like that

@Saif Zulfiqar, Mr. Saif Zulfiqar, " The police of the country are biggest criminals and are involved in every crime. " Correct. The majority of the police officials in Pakistan from top to bottom or bottom to top is corrupt, incompetent, inefficient, uneducated, illiterate, semi-literate, corrupt, criminal, backward, uncivilised, brutal, etc. UNFORTUNATELY.
