Police

During my stay in Aloks house, Alok had some trouble with his neighbor. The neighbor is constucting a house just at the property border line. On the first floor he planed to extend the roof further out, ignoring the fact, that this is not his property. Everything was on the way to get cemented very soon. Alok asked him, to please respect the property line and to rebuild the structure to cement the roof. It was only a few inches (cm) at one area,  but up to 10 inches (20 cm) at one corner. But the neighbor ignored Aloks wish and right. So. Alok called the police. They came. As an end result the neighbor still cemented the area with only some inches over to Aloks property and at the corner area he went half the way back, but still ignoring legal regulations. During the arguing at that specific cementing day, the neighbor called Alok in the presence of his mother ‚mother fucker‘.
Two days later, I hear from Alok, that the neighbor gave the police some thousands Rupies. I was so sad hearing that. Most sad for the policeman himself. So sad, that this ‚I thought honest‘ policeman is actually a corrupt person. So sad, that in the state of India, and especially Bihar, where it is so important, to come out of brutallity, crime and so on, to move towards order, this policeman underneath the law. I strongly believe, that this turns bad towards the policeman, and that’s the main reason, that I was so sad.
Also I heard from Alok,  at the cementing day, when the police was there, the neighbor run behind a woman to punish her, with a hammer!!!! The police saw it and did nothing…. brrr
And… finally. Alok told me, that the police complained to him earlier, that they can’t beat the people anymore in the police station with a bamboo stick ‚to bring them to order‘ because the government had installed in every single room in the police station a CCTV camera.
…… OMG
