Where 52 % of Cops are alcoholics or addicts

Can you ever believe a Police force in which 52 % of Cops are alcoholics or addicted to drugs. Yes, Punjab state Police in India is having that many numbers as alcoholics or addicted to drugs. As per one Times of India report:

There can’t be an irony greater than this: the same force that fought the terrorists which included many drugged or drug-peddling militants, is today reporting more and more of its own victims to the scour-ge of substance abuse and addiction.

A survey conducted by the police department in border districts of Amritsar, Taran Taran and Gurdaspur has put the percentage of addicts, including alcoholics, in the police force at a staggering 52%. IG (borderzone) R P Meena said, "Over half of the cops in border regions are alcoholics or into drugs.

They are up to rank of inspectors." While many of the cops have turned alcoholic, the rest are falling prey to opium. There is also a small percentage of policemen who use drugs like smack and heroin.
