Got punishment for helping accident victim...

• Police
• Police Harassment
• Paid INR 2,000

It was almost 12 at night, I was going home late on rented cab and found two bikers almost unconscious and badely injured on road side.. Decided to help them and took them to nearest hospital and from here my nightmare started... It was was a government hospital where I took them and doctors there were not at all interested in admitting. They made me fill several forms and asked me to wait until police come. Thankfully police came within half an hour. Now victims were not my responsibility anymore but my problems has just started. I have to fill further forms for the police, then they took me to the accidental location for drawing some maps. Then we came back to hospital where we waited for 3 hours for taking statement of victims. Unfortunately, they were still not in position to give any statement. Now to my horror police refused to let me go and asked me come with them to police station and that time I informed my family. We all went to police station still police was not interested in releasing me as if I was responsible for the accident. I stayed at police station all night and in morning when the two boys gave their statement and thanked me for helping them. Both were saved with little injuries. They admitted that it was not case of accident but they just slipped on road. Now police was ready to leave me still they said that as the case was registered in files, I may be called to police station for further enquiry. At this time one cop came and asked for 5000 and lated agreed to take 2000 to keep me and my family away from this mess or as he called 'lafda'.. My day was ruined, an important office work was delayed for which I got to face music from my boss, money spend, bribe paid and most importantly I felt humiliated.... Thanks to Jaipur police....
I am sorry to say but I never helped anyone after that in road accidents and I have no plan to do so until I have trust on police, which seems impossible as of now...
