Quote:
* Police also said that the we have to issue a criminal charge [FIR] against the cleaner [he was already in the lockup by then] for attempted theft of the vehicle.
* Till the court decides the verdict, the car will remain in police custody
[just imagine what a junk box the car will be in police custody]
* It may take several months to resolve the issue.
Ultimately, my dad had to pay Rs 3,000 as bribe and got the car back after hassling for an hour.
The bottom line:
- the b****rd cleaner got scot free [except staying in lock up for an hour]
- for no fault of our own we became lighter by Rs 3,000

Another wonderful example of our justice system at work. These cases make you seriously wonder whose side the law is on?
Why in God's name does you car, if found, need to be kept at the police station till the case is solved? WHY! For evidence? By the time the case does come up years later, there would not be much of a car left to identify, so what evidence?
