A decorated woman cop in Manipur arrested a drug lord with - wait for it - 4.595 kg of heroin, 2,80,200 'World is Yours' tablet, Rs 57.18 lakh in cash, and another Rs 95,000 old currency notes. https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.newindianexpress.com/nation/2020/jul/14/cm-pressured-me-to-let-off-arrested-drug-lord-manipur-lady-cop-to-high-court-2169677.amp

She quickly got a call from state BJP vice president who made her speak to the CM.

This was followed by a series of calls and visits, all intended to pressurise her to release the drug lord and not charge him.

She was told he is the CM's wife's "right hand man"

She refused to give in to pressure.

The CM then called her to his bungalow and said, "Is this why I gave you gallantry medal. There is something called official secrecy act also"

She did not give in.

But the pressure got to the judiciary and the drug lord was released on bail

Thounaojam Brinda, our heroic cop, still didn't give up.

She decided to make the story public through her social media.

She has been charged with contempt of court.

Drug lord is free.
