Bhupinder digs into the story of an acquaintance, Jasveer Singh, who was a bright student and showed great promise as an honest and fearless cop but ultimately found himself an hounded human being:

It was in the final year of college, that Jasveer Singh catapulted to local fame. He had made it to the Indian Police Services not only in his first attempt, but with one of his major subjects as Punjabi, a rather unconventional option. He came from a modest family in Hoshairpur [..] They would soon know this young SP came as a package deal, warts and all: he doesn’t listen to anyone when in uniform. Many politicians would unconsciously wince at any mention of Jasvir. His stint as SP in Allahabad was also eventful and he had a great future. Or so he believed.[..] Raja Bhaiya hit back. Filing FIRs and such proved to be of no avail — Raja Bhaiya, remember, was a minister. Finally, the cop gave up, and sought a transfer outside the area. His successors, mindful of that lesson, now allow Raja Bhaiya free rein.
