Chor Police (game)

Thief and Police),[1] also known as Chor Sipahi,[2][3] is an outdoor role-playing game played by children in Indian subcontinent.

The game is usually played by children divided into two teams with no limit of players.

[4][5] Police players chase chor (thieves) in an attempt to catch and mark them defeated.

Once the team is defeated after a successful run-and-catch, police has to play the role of thieves and hence thieves become police and it continues vice versa until the game ends.

[6][7] The Chor Police game is played in several countries under different names and with a set of different rules formed by local players.
