A run-in with the cops
The other day, my friends and I went for a drive to film nagar. It was around 11.30 p.m and we had halted the car by the side of the road so that we could take snaps of the view. Suddenly, 4-5 cops stopped by and started questioning us. What were we doing there, why were we there, where our license was etc.
V, who was driving , had had his license confiscated in an earlier incident with the cops about a month back since his car was registered in Tamil Nadu and we were in A.P. He, however, had a piece of paper to prove that the incident had taken place.
So we were a bit nervous. However, it soon became clear that the cops only wanted money and nothing else. They kept saying if we didn't give them money, they would take us to the police station.
I was really upset and annoyed that these cops were so corrupt. In fact, two of them were even drunk!
Anyway, we shelled out a small amount and left the scene. Some things never change in India.:(
