No bribe while getting back my PCs which were confiscated illegally

Reported on October 14, 2010 from Pune , Maharashtra  ι Report #33277

I had started a call center with 17 PCs and a Server. I had rented a place with Regus Business Center which provide office space and virtual offices. They had cheated us by saying that the rent/month would be only 95000 but I got a whooping bill of 8 Lakhs within 2 months! When I raised a voice, the Ops Dept said, it was the Sales Dept who'd promised that rate, and Sales Dept said, they were not concerned anymore! Anyways, they shut down my Internet connection and confiscated my PCs and Server. I had just turned businessman and didn't know what to do. I lost every single penny I earned in my 8 years of job. I hired a lawyer who advised me that if the Police helps me get my PCs out of their clutches, then the problem will be solved in a day. Otherwise, I'll have to go to court and it will take anything more than 3 months! All this while, I was paying the rent on the PCs. Luckily, when I went to the Police Station in Hadapsar, the Sr. Inspector solved the case within a day WITHOUT taking any bribe! I consider myself lucky that I found him for this problem. Because once when I'd lost my mobile and wanted to retain the same number, I had to pay a bribe just to get the Police clearance paper! Without that signed paper, I couldn't go to Airtel office to reclaim my number at that time.
