Last day a prisoner tried to escape by treating his guards with drugged biscuits. That was a tradition known as "Kharcha Pani". It is some money or food Pakistani police demands from its applicants or prisoners.
Another more shameful and inhuman tradition introduced in Police is "Muk Muka". It is where police forces victims to just leave the other party alone and normally they take money from the other party for this "service". i.e. If a woman has been raped, they will try to prove to her family that its not in their benefit to register a case saying that it will only bring shame to their family. They will pretend as if they are their well wishers. By pressurising with these tactics, they normally manage to shut up the victims. If victims family does not listen to them softly, they will threaten them with turning the case against them and so on until they withdraw the case.
Some thing like this happened in linked news where rape victim is being pressurised by police to forgive the rapist. In this way, on one hand police is directly involved in gang rapes and on the other hand, they are protecting rapists by pressurising victims.
