A couple of months back, the wife had gone for a play at Mithibai. After dropping her & my parents, the driver parked the car in a by lane & was getting down; when Bam a car came from outside of the society compound & hit the car.
The driver was caught – a cleaner gurkha without license, from a business man’s family, taking the car for a joy ride, mistress fast asleep in the air conditioned house. He was taken to the Juhu Police Station for registering a complaint & there the following Learning came to light from the Head Constable –
- Not too much damage (WTF, if it had been your car? what would you have done?)
- Why did you bring him here? (So, did you expect us to take him for a movie or award night?)
- Do you want to register a complaint (Nope, just came to meet my in laws)
- Mandavli Karun Taaka (Take the money for repairs & finish the matter – What’s wrong with you?)
- Oh, you want to claim more insurance etc.
All this while, my wife is explaining to him that the issue here is driving without a license coupled with the carelessness of the owners. Finally, an Inspector intervened, having understood the matter & asked the constable to do the needful quickly.
His owner was asked to come, but he was out of station, so a constable was sent to get the lady, who finally landed up herself, having realized that the car had disappeared….full of attitude, not even being worried about what had happened.
- Car Nos Plate
- Car Damaged
- Diff angle of car damage
- Yet another angle of car damage
- Juhu Police Station FIR
Net result – FIR was lodged, copy collected after a week & obviously the nepali boy is still roaming around with his mistresses car, maybe even having damaged more & the owners – rich though they are have no civic sense, but will be the first person to shout & ask for justice, if the same boy does something to them…..Such is Life!
