Twenty-eight police officers in Beijing have been cleared of wrongdoing after being falsely accused by residents of improper use of their authority, the Beijing Public Security Bureau said in a statement.

Since January, the authorities have investigated 107 cases in which police officers were reported for improper enforcement. The 28 officers cleared so far represent only a portion of the total, and other investigations are continuing, according to a statement provided by the bureau's rights protection division.

On Aug 17, a woman surnamed Zhong called the public security bureau seven times, the statement said, alleging that a police officer in the Tiancun station, in Haidian district, had hit her a month earlier and demanded money at the small inn she owns and operates.
