I had a clash with a policeman last night.

Hi tutul! Sorry to hear this. Its getting so difficult day by day for everyone. Not only for us but for the police men too. The increase in crime and violent incidences has really disturbed everyone's peace of mind and its pressure and fear which might have forced him to act the way he did. But I do understand that even in a much easier environment too most of the men are used to bullying innocent people which should be looked into. Stay safe and cheers to you too

I think the authorities should investgate some of these shady cops, you should of taken his badge number and report the matter immediately, that cop could of been even one of the corrupt ones, you don't know next what he could of done,or may be he did'nt want to do his job that night he just wanted to relax and do nothing so probberly he behave like that to scare you off.

Personally I think that these type of incidences are happening more and more for people all over. I am Sorry to hear that this happened for you, and hope things did work out for the Best in the end. I also hope you were able to get your brother home safely, and enjoying your time together. Just do not let this get you down and move on, and everything will be OK.

Oh that is really not good to hear. I wonder why he acted that way. Maybe that guy had a bad day and was putting it on you when you asked him a question at a wrong time. Well at least he let go off you. I'm just glad to hear that he didn't bother to stop you from going. Well people sometimes just go bonkers once in a while..lol. Take care and be cool.

Hi Tutul, really am very much sorry for you for the incident happened for at that last night. But the thing there is some bad cops same as in other profession and because of them all others from that were being hurted by the people, cool its a nature. Cops always wont believe anything and they try to question for all our replies. We need to maintain our patience at some place to avoid worst situations, ofcourse thanks for your patience to that cop :). It happens everywhere ma, so stay cool and enjoy every moments..

What a bad policeman!I am sorry for your being confronted with such a jerk. Incidentally,it was good of you not to be involved into a deeper quarrel with that policeman!

BAH what a joke. I remember a few years back when my parents were staying on in Calcutta and I was returning home to London we were en route to the airport and going over this bridge (which is apparently notorious for car jacking attacks) we were stopped by the police, it was about 5am as I had an early flight from DumDum airport. The police started asking all sorts of questions and shining the torch into the car, I got really annoyed and said “What’s the problem? We’re just going to the airport? This is a private vehicle!” and my mum told me to keep quiet, the policemen figured I wasn’t a local and then mumbled “sorry” and told us to carry on. I don’t know if they were after some bribe or something but our driver said that was what the cop wanted and it was normal practice to give them money! GRRR! Also that same trip I was shopping with my cousin and we were looking for a particular shop in Gariahat and I wanted to ask a traffic cop and my cousin said “no way, you can’t ask a cop for directions, you’ll be abused!” I was horrified. Here in the UK if you ask a policeman or community police officer or even a traffic warden for directions, they’re only happy to help you (in my experience to date anyway). Why are Indian police so rotten to the core? Gives India such a bad name in general when you hear of these incidents. I want to feel safe when I speak to a copper not worried about being arrested for daring to speak with them!

I am so sorry you had to put up with that! There are some bad cops that just like to bully people and use their authority in a negative way! Some police arent there to help, but have control issues lol! I hope you dont run into such a policeman again! =)

It is sad but common in India,i wonder where he was on 26/11. But its better to say sorry than to spend a day in police station arguing. Take care

hello tutul i am so sorry to hear what that you went through at the airport like that just wanting to know the correct direction in which to go to exit the airport. i am glad that you-all didn't get arrested or anything like that while that you were at the airport. and i see no reason at all why the police officer would have acted like that towards you-all either. it wasn't like that you were doing anything wrong. and i think that i would have just walked away and not have thanked the officer for anything. what would he do to you? run after you and knock you down and arrest you-all like that? lol (hugs) around here where that i live there are cops everywhere that you look. i do not know where all of the cops have came from here lately. the way that i look at it is, i leave them alone, in return they can leave me alone as well. right? lol take care and have a beautiful afternoon.

Hi tutul! I'm sorry to hear about your experience last night . Sad thing is it happens everywhere . There are good police and there are bad ones, just like there are good and bad teachers, doctors , and lawyers . When we experience something like this it it can change how we feel about those that have authority, or about mankind in general . You have to remember that this was one jerk and that everyone is in general are good people that do want to help . I think you did the right thing, by saying your sorry because it could have ended up alot worse for you. You know you did nothing wrong and that is what matters most . What goes around comes around , it will come back to him someday . Don't give up trust in people because of a few bad ones .

Yes you are right actually. i just get scared from these cops at times. once they just blamed me for the most worst thing which i cant think of being once. and from that time i am very scared and they are the people on earth whom i hate the most i just hate them from my heart, they always mess with wrong people and thats why there is no end to the crime yet.

whoa, none of the policemen overhere react like that
