Scary Experience! My faith is shattered in safety of civilians.
At 11AM today I was driving a two wheeler to my workplace, passing through the Bombay Sapphires Chowk, towards the golf course road. Three goons on bike(I have slight memory of them carrying some weapon), brought themselves beside me, and asked me to stop. Looking at the appearance, and the bold voice I knew it right away it won't be the correct decision to stop. I ignored at first but they kept following. Let me remind road weren't completely empty and ppl could see everything in dailylight. So you can imagine the guts. Then I said I will stop further ahead where police are standing. Then they asked me to stop gently, and requested, and aligned their vehicles very close to mine. Then they directly reached for snatching my keys. Thanks to the harsh traffic conditions in pune, I jerked my vehicle, and his hands couldn't reach. I knew it right away I have to reach the chowk. I quickly told an autowala someone is following me, and he gave me way so no one can come through in the standing traffic near signal. I went straight to the traffic police and told them what happened, and described the appearance. They knew it straight away and made some calls for that chowk. And then he said they are finance people seizing vehicle on loans. I called my sister and found out, that the vehicle was on loan by my dad, with some unpaid amount. It made me feel like I was the one at fault, and was shocked & angry with my dad. What if it was my sister who was driving that vehicle. I was scared to go back home and with utmost vigilance, i reached. Waited for my dad to come back. What he told changed everything. He raised very very valid points. He also spoke to the loan banker. 1. 85% loan is paid, so the vehicles arent allowed to seize legally itself 2. The vehicle is not based in pune, how come they came from the opposite part of the state only for this purpose 3. His banker friend told him they never issued the warrant or anything for the seizure. The bank is one of the biggest & reputed banks. 4. He told me anyone can get the list of vehicles on loan. Unpaid loan amount is very less and can be paid at once in the next emi itself. I am proud of myself I didn't stop and also hurled abuses at them. If it was indeed a seizure issued by so called reputed bank, it will be more scary. How they can locate some vehicle 500kms away from the registration. Mostly, I feel with their ways it was a scamful way of capturing vehicle, or who knows what they might have actually done if I stopped. How should I proceed? None of it seems fair, and I don't what to do? I am worried from my family who might be using that 2 wheeler.1
