The law and order situation is accordingly in total anarchy, and i'm not sure whether lodging complaints or calling in the Police would have eased or aggravated the situation for Arpan. |
Ya, you are correct. There are positions, situations and places where you seem to be so helpless. Nevertheless, I have registered a GD with the police here and now if he comes to do any more damage, he will learn the rules of the game from me. Because its not that only he can do the "dadagiri". Situations have changed in Bengal, the police needs to perform now, things are changing fast, these sort of things wont conitnue for long I believe. Quote:

Arpan & Mi2n. I have lived in that same place for 10 years. We have run a factory of 6000 workers in the same area, without any issues from any shady/dark/grey personality. So, lets not abuse a place just for the sake of it.
When the great neighbour said that he cant claim insurance, why couldnt you just say that you'll get it claimed against ur insurance and for that get the FIR from the PS.
9/10 times, that person would make a u-turn hearing about the PS. If its Golabari PS, it'll be 10/10.
What he said was that he wouldnt be responsible for any damage to your car. But he said it in front of the entire crowd. You have all the evidence to go to the PS and complain. You tell him directly that the fact he's made such a declaration in public can go against him as a formal threat and you will speak to the cops about it.
At the worst, instead of paying 1500 to the guy to repair his damaged vehicle, I'd rather pay the cops 1000 to teach him a lesson!
A area is defined by the people who live. |
Yes, you are pretty correct about this. Although its not Golabari, it is Bally PS. I have lodged my GD and I have options of getting the cops rough up this guy, maybe I am waiting to speak to this guy about what I can do and what not. I too have some contacts here which I did not want to explore. We also run a small factory in howrah, so we too need to keep contacts handy, but just because of the fact that I need to stay here with my family, I didnt want to take any harsh steps, which might further aggrevate the situation and it will become a regular drama outside my house. Lets see what can be done. I think I need to inform this guy about my police GD. what do you say? Quote:

Moreover, you should ensure that you never pay anyone any money henceforth else you would risk branding yourself as a soft target. News does travel you know.. |
Ya, I will meet this guy and tell him about my course of action soon. That too, this time I wont be alone, I have some so called "brothers" who if stand infront of him, he wont resist pissing in his pants.
