A different perspective here but in India, everyone by default believes that cops are corrupt and might be extorting the lawyer but honestly, they are actually the good guys in this scenario.
Even if everyone is right about bad cops, letβs be honest, host was at fault to not mention about the indoor cameras and later on attempt to dodge the accountability- so bad things happening to a criminal – doesnβt sound that diabolical to me.
To add to it, in the worst case scenario, if you shoot email to close the case and data somehow gets recovered by the host who ends up hosting that data on some websites – you would be questioned about your intervention in investigation and moreover, ofcourse, you would be in a soup.
Best thing to do – Do what cops tell you.
