- Lodging Police Complaint
- Paid INR 500
There was a theft that happened at my house in BTM at midnight. We realized it at around 2.30 am. Immeddiately I called 100 and there was no response first. Second time it was picked up but the girl on the other side said 'Yella' and kept the phone before I could tell the situation.
So I called up a neighbour and then we went to the police station where we woke up the person on duty - Janardhan. He after a lot of waiting sent about 4 people to my house. They looked at it and then said I should be more careful in locking th house. Then the senior person asked me where I worked and I replied that I work in electronics city. After that that cop went downstairs of the apartment and asked for money, I was conveyed by my neighbour that he was asking for 500 rs. I couldn't understand what for. But anyways for the sake of the help provided by my neoghbour at such as odd hour I gave the money. Then this policeman ******* said that please come in the evening and file the report. After taking the money he started behaving considerately!!!
So in the evening I went with the confidence that I should be allowed to file my complaint easily now that I have been made to pay the Bribe. The CI there asked me who had visited the house since I had not noted the policeman names but Heard Chandrapa name I said that he had visited. So the CI says he is in emergency duty, please come back tomorrow. And take the police station number, verify that he is there and then come. So I did that.
The next day when I call the police tell me that Chandrapa is busy in round and some demolition work so I should come during the day only. NOw i got frustrated so I go there along with my preganant wife and son to talk to them about this issues. They made me talk to multiple people at the police station and kept me waiting for 2 hours. Then I went and stood before the CI cabin , he sees my pregnant wife and called us in. In order to save their face I put the situation saying that the Processing Fees ( Bribe) was collected by the police. He called Janardhan and asked him what happened, understands the situation and then asked me to write a complaint without a date. I said fine.
This time they make us wait in a room under the fan. Then one of the junior consultable who visited the house comes by. Asks that you have paid money and I tell yes. Then he says - ' YOu has theft in house and lost money , why did you pay him money? ' I said how can I go against police.!!!!! Anyways he asked me how much I paid and I told 500. He is surprised and I asked him - 'So you didn't get your share. ? '' And he laughs.
Finally the writer comes and I am asked to wirte the complaint. I write that I lost 50,000 rupees and then the police visited. The writer cuts down the amount to say just cash. My wife pointed Cash can mean anything - 10 rs or 50000 Rs he says that is fine. Then he shouts at me saying why have you mentioned about the police visiting the spot. I said I have written whateever has happened. He asks me who visited, I donot know the name so I tell Janardhan knows , and just then the Junior constable walks in so I tell that person visited. Then he talks to theat person in a sharp voice and then explains. There is a section in FIR where they have to fill the reson for delay so if I fill that police visited and collected 'processing fees ' then it will be an allegation against them. He says he is sorry on their behalf and he will take the complaint if I omit this piece of information. By this time the whole police station is standing in front of us. SO I oblige.
Then Mr ******* walks in himslef. He says that I had given him this money of my own happiness( **********). And I replied as decently as I can saying that the happiness would be visible to himself or to GOD. And walks away smiling.
So after paying 3 visits and 500 rs in bribe, police have lodged a complaint saying that unanamed amount lost in cash which can be discarded by them saying it was reported very late. The CI knowing fully well that police have visited the spot and collected money from me still delayed my report so that the file can be off their list.
I think I better off being robbed by a robber and keeping it to myself than visiting any police station in BANGALORE. It is horrible they are burglars in uniforms. They torture you where it hurts the most. I being educated couldn't escape their treatment. I just thought to GOD that let these peoples relatives also be robbed and they face the same treatment from police that they have meted out to me. But that is all I can think of.
This is the society we are creating for our children where rapist and burglars will be becoming police and the children of police have lost my respect!!!! I hope they realise what is the SOCIETY They are creating and the type of FUTURE for their children !!! SHAME on all Policemen of BANGALORE and I wish that you children and relatives bear the burnt of your actions in the society.
