Corruption - Bangalore Traffice Police!
“Police Raaj”, in
Case scenario as below
Participant A (read yours truly), had a large peg of Vat 69 on a wonderful Sunday evening
Now “A” contemplated, appreciated, and loved drinking his VAT 69
After close to 45mins of the above exercise, came down – and started his bike to embark on the lovely journey back home (10mins drive from Place “X”)
Little did he know, that he was in store for a crash course on the Law, Rules & Regulations and Cops (corrupt ones at that)
2mins, into this lovely little odyssey and “A” was halted by policemen
Inspector drunk and smelling, constables gleefully running around stopping everybody and checking everybody’s mouth for the suspicion of celebrating liquor!!!
The Alcometer was forced into the mouth and instructions to breathe out as slowly as possible was read out
14% of alcohol was found in the blood and “A” was put to agony for an Hour and half, for this offence committed
The inspector on asking told us that anything above 10%, was lawfully wrong and that “A” had to pay a fine of 2000/-
In the meantime, a constable came and took the keys from me and took the bike to the Police station and was told to come to the Police station to collect the bike
After reaching the police station, “A” was asked to sign on somebody else’s Alcometer report, which was flatly refused
Since all the hankering did not do any good to the situation, “A” did pay the fine and was let off
When “A” asked for the receipt, it was told to come the next day and collect the same
Now it’s been 4 days, since then – “A” has been going regularly to the Police station and is always told to come tomorrow to come and collect the receipt
It’s a corrupt world, “A” cannot fight against the police, since he fears the future
What and all the police could do – If “A” fights against them
Isn’t there any system, which would help common man – fight against corruption and still have a peaceful sleep
I use to always say this to an IAS friend of mine “This country has gone to dogs, enjoy this country as long as it lasts” and she used to always fight back saying that there is still Hope
Truly, that’s all that is left now – H O P E.
Nothing else matter’s, since it’s the common man who gets pushed around
Alas!!!
