Punjab Police — Very rude behaviour

Address:

Police station Lalru

Sir,

A mobile phone was stolen from my mother in the evening as she was returning from the market. Two persons on a bike, both wearing helmets came and snatched the phone.

Later, after 10 days I went to police station to report the theft. There was a 'sanjh kendra', in which people said to me that the stolen complaints are filed in the official police building only. I went in there to report. First of all the gate was closed and the police person said to me, to wait for some time. I waited for atleast half an hour and then he called me up. He started asking me questions about the theft and declared on that spot that it was my mother's fault that she was talking on the phone. I said if someone calls you, is that a crime? Alright, later he asked me to go inside and report. I went in a room. There were 3-4 officers. A officer was sitting on a chair in civil clothes. He asked me in a really bad manner what i was doing there? I said i need to report a stolen phone. He immediately started scaring me. He was like- " Teri maa ka phone chori huya hai to tu agya 10 din baad muh utha kai. Are shayad tere sath majak krre ho vo. Tu phone jyada chalta hai na isleye bol rhe honge tere sai. " I was thinking, what the hell is this? I know I was a litle late to report but this wasn't the behaviour i should be treated with, this is why my mother didn't wanted me to complain in the first place. She knew that these officers don't talk good. I didn't said anything to him except -" sir complaint to koi bhi krva kai ja skta hai na."

This is, if i leave my phone somewhere or if it is then they can write a complaints in just 5 minutes. But if someone intentionally stole my phone then we should not do anything. I had full faith that the phone was never going to return to us, because i know all the hardwork they do there. I just wanted to complain so that in the future no one can complain against us if it is misused. This is the first and last time I went to police. With such bad memory, I don't want to go there anytime in future.

Points to remember-

1. The police officer was on duty without uniform. I think that isn't allowed .

2.In that same room, they were playing with a chick. It is something that isn't expected in such place.

3. They wanted me to go away without filing complaint. Who were they to conclude that it was my mother's fault?

4. The main point of all, if my mother had gone to report it, then what if she was going to be treated with same manner!

P.s- All the time i was there, i felt like they were going to soon put me in a cell. And when they said what i doing after 10 days there. I was thinking that "if i had already filed complaint on that same day, were then they be able to find the thieves till now?"
