Kasim Khan, however, told India TV that he had taken video of bribe-taking by at least 120 policemen. "I don't know why only 36 policemen have been suspended."
Kasim Khan also said that he was now being harassed by local police after the worm of cans spilled out.
"At 1:30 am, the policemen led by an ACP from Anti Corruption Bureau come to my house to inquire about the bribe-taking. Am I a criminal? Why can't they come at a decent hour?", asked Kasim Khan.
Khan alleged that he had earlier approached the Anti Corruption Bureau with the footage, but had been told that such videos were uploaded "daily" on the Internet. "I then approached the commissioner," he said.
Khan had moved court in February seeking a stay on the demolition of the refugee camps that have remained in the area since independence and partition.
Bombay High Court had subsequently put a stay on the demolition of these structures.
Home Minister R R Patil said, "All the police personnel and one senior police inspector have been suspended. The decision has been taken based on the video clippings that clearly point to these people taking bribes. However, the matter will be thoroughly investigated."
Mumbai Police Commissioner Satyapal Singh said it was a shameful thing for the policemen to accept bribes.
