      The CID or Thariyat as they are called are notorious for framing people. In fact they are given targets to frame x number of people in a given time. And, more so, they are given incentives and rewards. Every illegal immigrant is an informer and they frame innocent people in cases in exchange for living in Dubai without any visa.
