Got action taken without paying bribe from our side
My neighbor was creating nuisance by making a heap of cow dung near the wall our house in the street. I casually approached police to see what happens. The police asked to get a typed complain from market and then gave me some number upon request. They promised that the policeman will visit the site tomorrow. Next day almost on specified time the policeman came and inquired about the matter to both parties as well as other neighbors wrote the report etc and as requested gave chance to read them before we sign. Then he went to ********** the neighbor alone and talked to him and then after half hour he called me in also at my neighbors home. It felt to me that policeman has demanded too much money from him and he was being pressurized by telling him that I will all against him to any extent so the action will be very big. After that my neighbor was asked to remove the dung heap in 3 days and then come to police-station for paper work of closing case. Then again the policeman came to our house and after some talk he asked me to come aside alone. In alone he asked me pay for the petrol of his bike that he came on and other expenses. I said the govt might be paying for it and i do not pay bribes as a matter of principle. My answer was very polite and there were not much hard feelings on his side either. The neighbor also removed the dung heap and after 2 years we are very good friends.....
