NBI tags 11 Bulacan cops for killing 6 in ‘fabricated’ drug bust | Inquirer newsinfo.inquirer.net

According to the NBI, the six victims, who were mostly not known to one another, were arrested on the night of Feb. 13 as they were passing by a house where Dela Rosa’s men had just arrested five other people in an antidrug operation.
