Me (25 year female) and my friend (26 male) were coming back in an auto from a book-club meeting in IndiraNagar to RajajiNagar (where we live) at 11:15 in the night. The auto broke-down on the way and we were waiting for the auto-driver to get the auto ready. A police man in a Pulsar came by the main road - he saw us waiting in the auto & came to us. He started his interrogation initially which was OK because it was 11:15 PM. But even after we showing him our identity cards, the bill at the restaurant where we had food, he started using vulgar words and abused us. He threatened us to call our parents to the police station & that he wanted to talk to them. I said, they don't even live in this town - but he wanted them to go to the respective police stations in their town.
Also, he forced the auto-driver to drive the auto to police station. The auto driver also told the police that he just took us from out a decent restaurant in Indira Nagar but the policeman refused to listen. All that he did was threatening and continuous abuse. I was so shocked and frustrated and found no logic in what the policeman was speaking. Both of us sternly refused to come to police station and demanded reason for his behaviour. Later, he said that he needs bribe. We were not ready to give & the story started again. But, he was so threatening that we had to give him Rs.200 and come off the place. All i could do was to note down his vehicle no. That was a Pulsar given by the Police department and the number is KA01-G-4809.
People, what is happening around? Where are we living? This is a metropolitan & I cannot travel with a person from another sex in an auto if i am not married to him? I am seriously disturbed by this behaviour! I know the condition of Police stations in this country & I don't dare to go and lodge a complaint against this cheap guy. But, if this web site could do good, or atleast provide some awareness of such morally degraded policemen, then i am happy, this complaint served its purpose.
