 A true story of Army Officer Victimized by Corrupt Policemen--that too In Delhi -National Capital!!You May Be Next!!!Be prepared
Dear All,

If you ever get into an accident NEVER DIAL THE POLICE!!or be prepared for THIS!!

Yesterday, my wife met with an accident outside Taj Palace Hotel on SP Marg
at about 2 pm. She was trying to save a motorbike who suddenly took a wrong
U turn where barricades have been put up on the road leading to Army Battle
Honours Mess. She saved the mobike but as she suddenly halted, a Tata 407 hit her car from behind. The financial damage is another story!

I was in office in Greater Noida when she called. She said the mobike chap
was trying to run away and if that had happened she would have no evidence.
So after two three desperate calls to me from her, much against my previous
experience and wisdom, I decided to call the police and dialed 100.

The cops reached around the same time as I did in about 45 mins. I had also
called an old friend Col Manjit Singh Niranjan, and he fetched up from
Gurgaon almost at the same time. We started explaining to the PCR what had
happened and found to our surprise that the PCR had whisked away the mobike
driver and his wife to RML Hospital. We learnt later that the police took
the opportunity at the hospital to tutor him to say that he was driving
along SP Marg in the same direction as my wife towards Dhaula Kuan (and not
taken a wrong U turn as actually happened), and that she hit him from
behind!

At the site, the Inspector and ASI piled onto my wife and tried to tell her
it was her fault. The Tata 407 chap kept saying it was the motorbike chaps
fault, but they kept ignoring him. Then they said let's go to the Police
Station and took my wife's documents. As we moved in our cars, we came
across the police behind SP Marg flats. They had stopped the Tata 407
driver and were talking with him. This was the point when I realized
something was brewing. We learnt later that they were threatening him again
to say that it was my wife's fault.

We were asked to proceed to Chankyapuri Police Stn and waited for around
three hours. Meanwhile, my wife had the good sense to take the mobike
driver's No and I called him. He turned out to be a jawan from 284 Med Regt
and when I identified myself, he said " Sahab, main police ke lafde meing
nahin padna chahta. Maine galti ki hai, lekin yeh PCR wale mujhe galat
statement dene ke liye bahka rahe hain. Kahte hain tujhe bhi gadi wale se
paise dila denge, tu bas unke khilaf statement de de, baki ham sambhal
lenge"

I quickly realized the racket. The Police had understood that the car owner
was the right target to extract money from, seeing my wife's financial
status. They were accordingly working on a plan to stage manage the
witnesses!

I went out of the Police Station and called the OR. I told him I do not
want to press any further charges and that we would sign a razinama. He
agreed and after another hour arrived at the PS.

The Police took us to a room and started saying that " Yeh to mamla
kachehri mein jayega. Halaat kuch clear nahin lag rahe. Madam kuch kah rahi
hain aur mobike driver kuch aur" And turning to the OR said - "haan bhai
bol". Before he could say anything I said we have reached an understanding
and neither party wants to press any charges. Hearing this the Insp was
taken aback! His entire well planned strategy had gone down the drain. He
asked the mobike driver that he was sure and not under any duress, still
hoping that he could make his buck, but the OR was determined. So he made a
long face and got us to sign the razinama.

Now he turned onto the Tata 407 chap and said "iska chalan karo, yehi baar
baar bol raha tha motorcycle wale ki galti hai." On this I said we are not
withdrawing our statement, we still say it is the mobike person's fault,
but we don't want to press any charges. The Tata 407 driver is speaking the
truth and you can't penalize him for that." The Insp said you people leave,
we will let him also go. but I stood my ground and waited till they handed
over his papers to him. I had to see that justice is done for a man who
speaks the truth! So we all walked out of the PS out of the clutches of the
Delhi Police at 6,30 pm - after 4 hours of harassment.

My wife is suffering from shock - not so much from the accident as the
Delhi Police's deviousness ! She says she had only heard stories but having
experienced it first hand, she has lost complete faith in the Delhi Police!

Thank God the other party was a fauji, otherwise we were done for. He
offered to pay me for the damage but I told him I'm not going to take money
from a fauji bhai.

Moral of the Story - Never Dial 100. If an accident happens, resolve it
amongst yourselves amicably. The Police does not intervene (unless there
has been a loss of life) till you call them (even if they're at the scene).

I hope none of you ever face this situation. Be prepared for this game plan of our corrupt devious cops & stump them in advance!!!
Rgds,

Rajdeep
