[Resolved]  Bangalore Police — Harassment by police

Hi,
Hope this incident that happened to me on the 20 April, 2008 helps people understand how cops act when it comes to doing their jobs. My name is Suraj Paul, and I am a residence of Bangalore.
This incident occurred at about 6 pm, while I was going towards chinaswamy stadium from Kids kemp on MG Road. Once I reached the brigade road signal, I stopped since it was red. I was in my Scorpio. As most of you know that half this road is blocked for metro construction. Once the lights turned green as I just began to move forward a person from my left tried cutting to the right of the road. He hit my car and fell down. He did not get injured nor was his bike, a yellow Karizma. His name was Mohammad.
There were about 4 traffic police and about 2-3 normal cops there. They immediately came to me and asked me to bring my car to the side. I asked the cop politely if he had seen the incident, but he started to use bad words at me like loud* etc. I told him that it was not my fault, but he refused to listen.
He asked me for my license and when I showed it to him he kept it in his pocket and refused to give it back. The cops name was Kenchapa, he was a sub inspector.
The bike rider also started accusing me (though he was the one who had broken the rule, of overtaking from the left, and he was the one who rammed into my car). When ever I tried to talk to the police all he did was use bad words and asks me to pay the other rider.
The Bike guy was shouting and creating a big scene, he then called his brothers, and they came and spoke to me and demanded Rs.3000 for the damages for his bike, which in this case was his own fault. And the cost of the damages was nothing but a little pain job.
Police at this point are just there to harassment the common man. No logic, no talking they just demand a price. The biker was shouting in Hindi I think he was drunk. The cops did not ask him anything nor tested him for alcohol all they said was settles it with him.
After a while when I got a chance to talk to the cop, all he said was since I was in a bigger vehicle I have to pay the other person, irrespective of what may have happened.
First of all I want to know is there any Rule that a cop can STEAL your driving license and not give it back.
Second is there such a rule which says, the bigger vehicle driver is always at fault.
Thirdly, is it right for cops to use such bad language for no reason?

There should be someone to look into this and stop such incidences from happening again. We call this a developed city when such things still happen here. Its time we spoke up and make this city a better place to live in.

I totally agree the police people have no common sense i faced the same problem on 3/06/09 was getting back from a office party and they stopped me for drunken driving . i clearly explained to them as i was comming from a office party and i was with my family the traffic persons name was feroz khan and he said that he is giving me a court notice anf fine off rs 1800 and asked me to pay it there . i mentioned that he has to give me the recipt so that i could go to the court and pay it . he denied and mentioned that he wold do that and he would pay the lawyer . if i did not pay up they would sieze my car . They stated using all foul languages at me hearing this my wife got off the car and came across to speak and she noticed that the police keeper of the pullic was himself breakingthe law by smoking in a public place when they have put the rule themself of no smoking in public but the police refused to answer . My wife to noticed that they were not checking most of the cars that were passing by. she mentioned that too for that the police person scremed at her and told her will foul language and asked her to go sit in the car..We were quite angry and we left from that place . later in the night they call us at 2-00 am and goes on usng foul language saying that they can do whatever they want.. Is it that police can do what ever they want .. Their job is to protect and serve the public insted they harras the public...I mentioned that i would pay the fine in court but then too the would not listen.. Please advice...
To add with the first duty is to ask for the drivers license as well as the car papers but the police did not do that (Feroz khan) inspector baswangudi police station. they were more keen on getting the money out from the public.Anyone could have been driving the car . how would the cops know if they dont ask and verify whoz car it is.. is that not why they have been provided with the blackberry phones or is it for their personel use... i doubt it...please advice...

Sajjan Rao Circle has a food street near to it, also known as Khu galli, i came to know that police officers ( sub inspector, constables) comes everyday in the evening and ask for money from each of the shops. Shops owners pays them 100 - 200 rs. everyday. This is the goondaism of police. Apart from that 10 - 15 police constables comes and ask for food items daily for free from the shops on the street. This is too much. Small shop owners have to give them to free, else police create problem for them. Instead of helping citizens they are harrasing them on daily basis. Such a bad shameful act by police.

Traffic police harassment — Traffic police harrasment

We work in a company based in Bangalore (100 feet road, Koramangala). Our office is located on the Main road and we park our vehicles on the cement platform outside the office building. Earlier we had been charged once to park our vehicle outside on the road and so we made it a habit to part near the office gate on the cement platform.
But result?
Same result.

Audogudi police station traffic police will come along his 5-6 people and get our bikes from the platform too and then we have to go to the police station and pay 200, 300 or 100 rs. based on the kind of sadness and panic we show. We never get any receipt and even though they know noone is ready to accept that bikes were actually in a parking zone and not wrongly parked.

It is like thieves steal money and bikes from homes and compounds and in the same way now our bikes are getting stolen from our Offices.

Whom should we complain?
People suppose to hear to our complain are themselves the greedy cops who harass people unncessary for money.

It takes half day leave for an individual to get there by bus and negotiate with greedy cops and getting the bike back.

Who will listen to common man?

Who?

cops?

politicians?

or other citizens who enjoy and smile when we are harassed by the Government?
I doubt if complaining about bad cops works. The last time we had a bad experience was also at the same junction (Brigade Road-Cauvery). When we took the cop's details, he told us, yes please go and complain about me. One could see that he knew he was immune from any disciplining.

The politicians have kept the police demoralized and underpaid. Together these 2 classes are responsible for 90% of India's problems. Don't you think so?

The Hon’ble Chief Minister of Karnataka,
Vidhan Soudha,
Bangalore
Dear Sir,
Sub: Illegal Activity & Evacuation of the site along with Rowdism at the Project Site
by the Developers of the Project - Mr. Mahaveer Ranka, his sons, Partner & Staff - at
the project site at Banerghatta Road by name “Paramount Pilatus”
We are introducing ourselves as one of the reputed Development & Infrastructure houses
in the country with our Corporate Office located in the IT city - Bangalore. We are an ISO
[protected] certified, young and fast growing organization with a vision to expand our
horizons in multiple fields of business. At Sovereign we believe in Excellence - in all our
Activities - our motto is underlined as – Driven by Excellence.
We have taken up building construction work for M/s Paramount Vijetha Holdings,
represented by its Managing Partner Mr. Mahaveer Ranka, vide their contract and
Agreement dated 23.06.2007 and for the past 26 months have completed about 30% of
the building project under the guidelines of the client/consultants. For this work we have
invested heavily into the site in terms of the Infrastructure, Staff, Materials and other
facilities including our own security and people.
We have completed the work and submitted the latest RA bill and our total amount due
from the customer is Rs. 2.09 crores but Sri Mahaveer Ranka has not paid the same and
in fact he has threatened our men to remove them from the site area. Against this Mr
Somashekar Reddy, our Security Officer, lodged a complaint on 14.09.2009 and the same
was acknowledged by Sub Inspector of Police, Hulimavu vide receipt No. 0452742.
We requested Mr. Mahaveer Ranka to clear our pending bills, but instead of releasing our
payment, he alleged that he has terminated the contract with us, which is unilateral,
illegal, arbitrary and contrary to the law.
Hence we were constrained to approach the City Civil Court vide Reg No. A.A. No.
697/2009, against this unilateral decision, to allegedly terminate the agreement and
contract. The copy of the petition before the court is produced herewith for your kind
perusal.
We are only interested in getting our payment due from our 10th Running RA Bill which is
over Rs.2.09 crores, but were not getting any commitment from Mr. Ranka.
Now on 25/09/2009, taking advantage of the holidays of the court and the General
Holidays, at about 1100 AM, Mr. Mahaveer Ranka along with his associates, partners,
staff and 14 goondas (pretending to be his clients, who have purchased the Flats) barged
inside the premises/site and started threatening our security, staff & labour –telling them
to vacate the site immediately, failing which they threatened that, our life will be in
danger. They further also told that - they do not fear anybody and they have the required
political backing and support and if we do not vacate the site – we will be finished.
Page 2 of 3
My Security Personnel were shocked and confused as to what had to be done, as Mr.
Ranka had informed them that the people who have come to the site were his clients.
However, our staff was alert and they managed to pass the message to the Police Control
Room and the Local Police Station at Hulimavu and also to our Head Office. The Local
Police from Hulimavu reacted immediately and rushed to the site – they immediately
noted the names, addresses and telephone numbers of all the rowdies who had
trespassed the site and warned them to leave the site immediately or get arrested. On this
proposed action of the police, these rowdies immediately vacated the site and ran off.
Further our Security Officer, Mr. Someshekar Reddy, went to the Hulimavu Police Station
and lodged a written complaint which was registered by the Hulimavu Mico Layout Sub
Division, as FIR Crime number 0210/2009 dated 25th Sep 09, under the Sections
143, 149, 447 and 506 of the IPC 1860 Act against Mr. Mahaveer Ranka, Sri Ashok
Dhariwal, Mr. Aakash Ranka, Mr. Ajit Ranka, Mr. Ajay Gupta and Mr. Jagadish.
The above was required, as the law and order situation had to kept under control at any
cost on the project site, where we have invested heavily in the site in terms of
Infrastructure, Staff and Materials – to execute the project. On registration of the
complaint as mentioned above, the Station House Officer, visited the site & the spot and
could understand the tense situation there, as the local rowdies were still roaming, in and
around the site periphery only. The local police have also since then deployed two police
personnel at the site temporarily to take stock of the situation and ensure that nothing
untoward happens.
We were called to the Hulimavu Police Station on the 26th September afternoon, to explain
the points that led to this situation of the project and when the undersigned visited the
station with few of our staff, we also met Mr. Mahaveer Ranka, Mr. Akash Ranka, Mr.
Jagdish and his advocate – who were also present at the Police Station – and we had
discussions with them in front of the Inspector of Police –– but the outcome of the same
was inconclusive and they left the police station maintaining their illegal stand that, the
site be vacated immediately.
Sir, the matter is sub-judice and is to come for hearing in the court on the 3rd of October,
but still as of now, the rowdy elements are moving around the periphery of the site and
they are threatening our staff who moves in & out of the site, of dire and serious
consequences, if the site is not vacated by us immediately. We presume, all this is done
under the instructions of Mr. Mahaveer Ranka, his sons and Mr. Ashok Dhariwal, who
are remotely controlling these rowdy elements.
We fear that the issue may get more complicated than what it is today and hence we pray
and request you to give instructions to the concerned Authority and officers to investigate
and immediately take proper legal action against them – as per the prevailing law of the
land.
Because of this incident, we are fully disturbed and we fear that any untoward incident
will jeopardize our entire business operations. Even our staff and labour at the site are
feeling unsafe – and they have been asking us, to permit them, to leave the site –
therefore, it is all the more important to take suitable immediate action against Mr.
Ranka, his Sons & Mr. Ashok Dhariwal – before the situation goes out of control.
Page 3 of 3
Since the matter is pending before the court of law, we shall sincerely abide by the court’s
verdict for the future course of the works to be done.
We once again pray to you to kindly help us at this juncture, and give instructions to the
concerned Authority and officers to investigate and immediately take proper legal action
against the persons who are acting in opposition to the law of the land.
Thanking you,
Yours truly,

hi friends.
JB here
friends, this incident have happened on 09 October 09, approximately 11.15 pm near NANDINI Theater, Nandini Lay-out.
I am waiting for an auto-rickshaw, as per the rule that nobody is allowed to "DRINK and DRIVE".

As a responsible person i am waiting at the above mentioned place, and a POLICE JEEP (KA04 G547) came, and stopped suddenly, and some 3 to 4 policemen came out of that jeep and started to beat me with the cane witout asking me any question.

is it a crime in this country that a person to follow the law?

should i be ride my bike instead of taking an auto?

is there any [censored]g authority, that can tell me that whats the crime, that I have done?

I am a manager in a reputed organization. If this can happen to a person who is in such a position, then what will be of others?

This is not the single case, the Bangalore Police is doing with the people,
this is not the way POLICE should behave with people.

In which clause of our LAW, it is written that a police can beat a civilian with or without a reason, unless he has got the order from his superior.

who will answer to this?

I know that "Bangalore Police" is not capable of keeping us as safer as we think.

there is nothing but ROWDY BEHAVIOUR in the UNIFORM.

Are the police is so FRUSTRATED??

Police — police harrazment

i am very stylish person seeing my hair style all police in the station told r u rowdie and scolded me using bad words. can any one tel me wat can i do further.
My uncle had gaven me this advise to me for peaceful life: 'Never argue with a policeman'
I think the entire Police force in this country are highly corrupt and incompetent cretins, who are incapable of discharging their duties efficiently. They're well-known for harassing and scaring innocent members of the public with vulgar language and indecent threats and words. Many of the constables and patrol cops are poorly educated and are not even aware of their rights and limits as police officers.

As a member of the public, if you have ever been harassed by any of them, or have been victim to their high-handedness, here is a solution i found on the web. I don't know how effective or true it is, though.

=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*
If you want to pass on some information about a crime or lodge a complaint against any high-handed police officer, call +[protected] or +[protected].

Whatever you say will be heard by the City Police Commissioner himself and your identity will be kept a secret.

These two dedicated telephone lines have been set up with a view to promoting 'complaint culture' among Bangaloreans.
=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*

Let's use our power as tax-paying citizens to ensure that these 'good-for-nothings in khaki' don't get away with their irresponsible and unprofessional behavior towards us. C'mon India! Let's not accept from anybody. Least of all, these uneducated and ham-fisted who are supposed to bring order and law to our cities and ensure our safety!!
Respected Sir,

Good Morning, I am Gayathri, K.V. D/o. K.Venkataswamy, santhemaiadana,
Door No. 3086, Mulbagal-563131. is herewith submitting one requisition for
self justice before honourable court and legal offices. please see this
information about me, as much as earlierly suggest me legal things and I
neewded legal support and further steps of your action regarding in this
view.

As I am working in Taluk Office, Bangarpet Taluk As typist, government
employee and I want to express and inform you sume family facts because As I
have borned in joint family having parents father K.Venkataswamy, Mother
Padmavathamma, and one sister Prameela, Govt teacher, and 4 brothers, 1)
Ravikumar, K.V. (Process servor)in Ramanagara Court, 2nd Surendrababu, K.V.
S.D.A. in Kolar Civil court, 3rd Narendra babu, K.V. typist in Sidlagatta
civil court, the 4th Sridhar K.V. typist in City Civil Court. now I want to
say about my features in homely matters. I have lead very middle classs
norms life. and I have ambition of studying highly but it is not possible
with my family because its joint family. having more expensese one person
earnings only father earning member. So, I cannot study as I needed. to
grow my future. like this I have tolereated in many things in home
problems.as an wortking employee I have to move in society with peace and
harmony with my collegues and friends but in my home my brothers having
always doubting nature they kept me full strictly to not go anywhere with
friends even day time also they avoiding moving with friends. it is very
irritating matter in my nature. because I am having ambition to go and
spend with girl friends to move with them freely. when they sending strictly
with friends some times I am not feeling free in mind always their
strictness awared and feared me in every step. not to go forward from
childhood. me tolerated all things and leading normally everytime when
mistakes and misunderstaindgs occurs me thing they are elders to me I have
to obey one or other day they coming to know about me or about girl nature.
But anyhow they cannot because they thinking they are great and I should
hear them and within their control . But I should lead my life as their
ambitions.

But I have my own conscience, I must talk with all freely it is an
freedom right to me and I must move as respectable women and have some image
of my own and not going to bad nature, bad friends, bad things, but
unfortunately I am having many friends. so as usual I got sandeep as my
friend in working place. He is doing consultant job in system admin. at
that time. He is good friend, and wel wisher to me as personnel I know as
friend wel. But my brothers mistaken this relationship in bad manner,
creating bondage ship of love they torturing him from 6 months. first time
I told inhome to my parents, he is good boy. but they not hearing and went
innerly torturing with other men`s . One day my first elder brother and his
friends Ravi ( Journalist) S/o.Venkatagiriyappa, Ex-MLA, Councellor of
corporation, Kolar Taluk. and his friends Prakash, Mestri in buiding,
kolar. (keelukote) Murali Gowda, councelleor, kolar and Routh Shankarappa,
Councellor, one evening date not known perfectly. they blackmailed sandeep
parents going their home showing horrible nives, longs teling them where is
your son? we will killing him and burning your home like that, and taken his
father to Routh shankarappa home office near palasandra layour, kolar after
that they calling to landline when sandeep came to home they called him to
that place black mailing so he went their all accumulating threatedned him
in vulgur and cruocious unwanted language and giving beatings to him warning
him and warned killing you and spoiling whole family.they kept this matter
unknowingly to me inmy home. and second time after 2 months again in doom
light circle, kolar Ravi (councellor) they went on following and with eyes
they signalling sandeep rashly hey come hear like that and taken to Civil
bus stand. their allmy four brothers with ravi councellor infront of publics
and public place they beaten not looking anything on head wrist every where
as they needed. But I myself at that time calling him to talk friendly and
calling him as putta. shortly but but not getting reply so doing message I
stoped for some time. then they given torture to him at dat moment seeing
calls of my number and messages I think. by beating and black mailing teling
kepting atrocity and other cases like that threatedned him vulgurly with
crucious words behaviour and writing one note about my finance and my life
security they wroten one note by threatning harshly and beated him to keep
sign in that note and left hand thumb impression. But sandeep tolerated
many things for my friendliness sake thinking she is good girl. I don`t
want harm her life by saying all these things, but I came to know laterly by
friends and knowly perons came to ask me wat happened to that boy. like that
but it is too late at that time. and I thoughted now I cannot do anythings
and I cannot give complaints now. it is too late. now time up for giving
complaint. so keep quite. After that they not lived so far, again they
tortured illegally by messaging to mobile that your son is under HIV treat
be aware. we are not living him. and calling to landline they scaring
their parents by block mailing asking where is your son? where he went when
he is coming? and fearing them in bad words as killing them. so these
process is going on till today. Now they threating we are coming illegally
doing all illegal thigs not directly and we are not disturbing that girl. (
that is myself)

But one main prayer of me infront of legal justice is as a human
beings first up all they not understand my nature of living. and they went
torturing directly him. but it is not the human manner as you know sir.
they want ask me and threaten me if anything wrong in my steps. instead of
it they spoiled very good kind and honourable family and their peace in home
and his carreer in everystep not living to do job. everywhere keeping ten
to twelve members gang`s at every circle in kolar upto his home that this
nature of block mailing and illegally threatning caused very damages in his
whole life carreer spoiled in society, in friends and in office all are
thinking badly on him. unnecessarily by this incidents of my brothers they
cannot get his respectable image again. He is inpersonnel as I know good in
nature and henot harmed me in any matter, instead of it he treated me as
friend talking directly. but my future sake he tolerated allthings. Now
also we are good friends. When writing this requisition I am good in health
and going office regularly doing my works.
As my own knowledge still they following me and him. these is life
spoiling things and mentally they distrubing our both lives. so Its
irritating to live in these places. by their harms. If any harms done to me
or sandeep and sandeep family members in this connection this is by my
parents and brothers only reason for it . in any finance and personally.

I pray my justice infront of honourable court or office, to do
needful legal action immediately and suggest them to live in humanity
nature.

thanking you,


K.V.Gayathri.
