It
has been reported that a Police constable was seen taking a bribe of measly
three thousand rupees. This definitely is a matter of concern. Who takes a
bribe of mere three thousand rupees these days? Unbelievable! Such constables
bring disrepute to the entire police-force. This constable is required to be
urgently deputed for professional training course. His knowledge needs to be
updated and advised current rate list.
Now
what could have been the ‘compulsions’ that a constable had to accept a bribe
of three thousand rupees. This is gross. Does anyone even take three thousand
rupees bribe? That too a police constable. Even if he takes it, scandalous it
is to show him on video. This became public. Constable in question, was he a
trainee or a rookie? What could have
been the deal, where the ‘service fee’ is just three thousand rupees. It is
possible that it is just an advance or token money. How oblivious this
constable is of his surroundings. Does he not read newspapers. These days scams
of less than thousand crores are not even worth reading. This three thousand rupees’ bribe is a
shameful. I am sure this constable must be facing tough time from the
authorities, his bosses, his colleagues and his own folks at home “Dad, what
did you do?" How will we show our face in the colony? What will people
say? Will you tease me at school?" The wife will be ridiculed in kitty
party. They may mull over the question whether her membership of kitty party be
cancelled forthwith. " Sister!
You may put your ‘committee’ in your locality; this kitty party is way beyond
you." This constable has brought shame to all his near & dear ones.
Now
is the time for ‘damage control’ It can be said that this was a fee for
something and a receipt was duly issued for it. In the meantime, arranging a
receipt in back date should not be a problem for you. Meanwhile, this policeman
needs to be sent for a refresher training course. Let him learn the nitty
gritty. Teach him de-novo about the image and image building. The image is very
important. Your reputation is everything. He cannot put at stake the reputation
of entire police-force for a measly three thousand rupees. If it is not
possible to give the receipt, three thousand rupees should be refunded in full
public view with video recording for posterity. The matter, I hope, would be
put to rest.
