Moral Policing, Harassment of Female Friend

- Police Harassment
- Paid INR 4,000
This happened near Durgam Cheruvu, opposite to Inorbit Entrance... After finishing shopping at Inorbit, at around 9:45 PM we (me male + female colleague) came out of parking and went to the nearby rocky place, where few tea stalls are available. We took tea, and went ahead in the car. Some movie shooting was happening on the far end of the rocks. After a while 2 cops in a bike surrounded my car, and before I could react, one cop snatched the car keys. They asked of our identity, we presented, Then they started talking rubbish about us, that what are we doing there etc? As soon my friend got down they started shouting very rudely to her, and gave her telegu slangs, then they made me talk to their senior on phone who asked whether I had car or bike. I told car, and he told 4000 is the minimum fine, other wise we have to go to police station, and an FIR will be made in our name and parents will be called. We got very scared and decided to put an end to this by paying 4K since by then it was already 10:30PM. I went to ATM and gave the money and they left after giving me back my keys and employee id badge. While leaving they behaved very nicely, we we felt relieved. They also suggest some rules to follow, which I took in a positive light and understood their concerns and situations and 1 male 1 female hanging out together (which is not a big deal in my state) late in Hyderabad.
Ever since that that day I am more worried falling victim to cops and moral police than actual criminals and also trying to move away from a city like this where police is more bothered about these things.
