The Muslim man Munfaid, a 30 year old falsely rape accused was shot down by police. He used to be called by the police to carry out some of their work.

Munfaid was with his three friends in a white pick-up truck when a green Bolero filled with cops stopped right in front of them. The police shot Munfaid. His 3 friends ran away fearing for their life. The police even tried to cover up the incident.
