   When the V. in the Active is not an action, we use with, to, in, at, etc. and not by in Passive. Here, believed (V.) is not an action; it’s a state and people (Sub.) is vague (general), so, it is not men- tioned in Passive. Look at the sentences : I know her. (Active) She is known to me. (Passive) [The V. - know is not an action; it’s a state]
