    According to my Bengali friends, he belongs to an institution called ‘civic police’, and they are apparently often ex-hooligans. (If you’ve read One Piece, their relation to the local government seems to be similar to that of the Seven Warlords to the World Government.)

        Closest comparison I could think of. What I understood is that these guys get a government job, and in return are expected to stop their hooliganism. But OP says below that it was originally a volunteer system that got corrupted over time.

        Plus Bengal is weebland so they’ll understand.
