This is fairly typical of Gurgaon Police
Actually, this is fairly typical of any police for that matter in India. They do not look at the bigger picture when taking decisions. A bus full of passengers was stopped and impounded in the middle of the night on the Gurgaon Express Highway by the Gurgaon police, leaving the passengers who were on their way to Bikaner stranded on the road. Here’s the report.
This has so many things wrong on it on a lot of fronts. Apparently, the driver didn’t have a license. So, they decide to impound the bus and leave the passengers on the road. There could have been many actions taken to avoid this: fine the driver on the spot, and let him go. Issue a warrant against the bus owner, and let the bus go in the meantime. Keep the bus registration papers and issue a challan so that the bus owner has to come and claim them at a later date.
In any case, there is no way that harassing a bus full of passengers in this manner can be justified.
