Bogus police appear in court

They allegedly produced a police notebook and asked for the passports of the complainants. Police say the duo was caught after a tip-off from a member of the public who complained that some plain clothed police officers at the BMC circle were asking for bribes from Zimbabweans in transit to South Africa.  The tip-off alleged that the two accused promised to guarantee passage to illegal travellers without passports.

The accused were busted after police mounted an under cover operation.
