According to a media report, as many as 19 innocent people have lost their lives due to the heedlessness of the police for which at least 21,987 cases pertaining to inefficient performance and alleged involvement in corruption have also been registered against them.

Some law enforcement agencies have also accepted that bribe or reference is required to lodge any FIR in Punjab as police are reluctant to perform without monetary funding.
