@ Navin " also a good incident happened with my lawyer friend who was stopped for "alledgely" jumping the red light. he took the challan and challenged it in the court. summons were sent 2 the cop who issued the challan 2 b present in the court for the next hearing. my friend has not gone to the hearings since then and the hearing has been deferred 4 times. every time the cop has 2 b present (losing thousands of rupees of greasing they earn daily). last heard he called upon my friend and even offered 5k to finish the case so that he can go to his duty and not come 2 the court losing precious "greasing" time on the field."
A few days back, I ahd to park in a no parking zone outside the Airtel Office in Okhla..Pathetic cellular company has pathetic setup for parking...all their own employees take up the parking and to add more woe..they have placed security guards on the road so as to guide you all the way to the other stretch and walk down...The problem was my friend has a HR-26 esteem and he walked into airtel while I was sitting in his place.
Now a cop comes up and asks me to step out and show me papers and all.. tell him , its not my car so My friend will come and show him the papers..! He tells me to get out of the car if its not mine else he will have me arrested..Now I got so pissed, I call my friend ask him to come and in the mean time I tell his cop to call his superior or I call the PCR for him harrasing me unecessarily, he calls his boss..! Who asks for my license,,I show it him, and he snatches it from my hand..and keeps it in his pocket and says ab batao..! I was like You can't keep my licence and I have'nt done anything...! He says say sorry to the cop and pay us 200 bucks...I told him keep the license as long as the PCR is not here...! What he then does is very nice...He throws my license back on my face and writes us a challan for 100 for No Parking...I tell him I will contest this in court..So he says fine then he will have the car impounded till the court does not release it...
My friend did pay the challan, I agree we were at fault to park in a No Parking Road, But there were 20 more cars along and No one else..
So next time Should I happen to challange a challan, is the car impounded or what..!
I really have a good equation with cops, not the wrong doings type..When we were in college, Some cops on beat used to stop by and see us practice our dramatics...and ask for a smoke sometimes..!
Just the worst cops in delhi are the Traffic ones |
