Reborn as a Police Officer in India

Chapter 112 Blackmail of 50

Huba came in with the victim's family members. When they saw Rotun, they almost knelt on the ground.

This is the director. To them, he is a high-ranking official.

In the past, any police officer, even the lowest-ranking second-level police officer, could bully them in various ways.

In fact, these low-level police officers are generally of low caste.

After these low castes were bullied by high castes such as Brahmins and Kshatriyas, they did not dare to resist.

So they followed suit and started bullying those of lower castes than them, and these Dalits and untouchables became the targets of bullying by the lower castes.

Many times, the lower the class, the more cruelly they bully the lower class, bringing human evil to the extreme.

Moreover, there are many subdivisions of high and low castes within each caste.

For example, among the Dalits, some have higher status and some have lower status, and those with higher status will naturally bully those with lower status.

Therefore, in India, even Indians may not fully understand a person's caste. Many of the details are only known to people of their ethnic group.

No matter what, the untouchables are at the bottom of the society and can be bullied by anyone. They are used to all kinds of miserable days.

Looking at the trembling and frightened family members, Luoton sighed in his heart.

He is not a saint, but he definitely has some sympathy for these people.

But most people are helpless and speechless. These people have been completely brainwashed, and religion forces you to obey and not resist.

So your sympathy is useless, they will not think of changing, that would offend the gods.

After all, this is the society in India, and it basically doesn't give them any chance to change.

There are very few people who can truly change.

For example, beautiful women have the opportunity to become stars through acting, which is one of the ways to change their lives and achieve class transition.

However, most beautiful Dalit women probably don’t even have the opportunity to get involved in performing arts. They have been subjected to various forms of abuse at a very young age, or have been married off early.

People like Itas are lucky, and can be said to be one in a million.

Luo Dun quickly explained the amount of compensation.

After hearing this, the family members thought they had heard it wrong. This was an astronomical figure, an amount they could not even imagine.

They didn't believe it until Huba told them with certainty that each family would have to pay 10 rupees in compensation.

Of course they had no objection and agreed to settle privately.

Rotten called Lisa's family over, and they handed over the money and signed their names at the police station.

All of this was filmed by Younando.

Until they actually received the 100,000 rupees, the victims' families still found it unbelievable and unreal.

Although Huba just confirmed that it was 100,000 rupees, they felt that even if the other party really offered 100,000 rupees, the amount they actually received would probably be greatly reduced, and they didn't know whether they could get 30,000 rupees.

The police are all too familiar with all kinds of extortion.

Can things be done without giving benefits to the police?
But today, they found out that they were wrong and they really got the full 10 rupees.

So they left with many thanks.

Lisa's family also left with Wes, and both parties got a satisfactory result.

As for those dead girls, no one will care about them anymore. This is the reality in India.

"Director, Hal will definitely use his connections to put pressure on us." Huba said.

Although Roton refused to carry out his superiors' orders, there would certainly be more such orders.

"For example, the simplest scenario is that he has bail from the court. Can we still not release him then?" Huba said again.

Rotten knew that what Huba said was right. With Leser's relationship, it would not be a problem to get a bail letter from the court.

Will you refuse to execute it yourself at that time?

It's not that it's not possible, it's just that the opposition will be greater.

After all, it is not a system.

Disobeying orders within the police is a matter for internal police handling.

Many times, in order to save face within the system, the matter will not be handled in a high-profile manner.

Different systems are different. The court will definitely feel that it has been slapped in the face by the police, and it will definitely not tolerate this.

After some operation, the impact of this matter will be even greater.

Of course, Rotun now also wants to spread this influence further.

If the other party really wants to get a bail letter, according to his original intention, he will definitely refuse it.

However, now Rotun had another idea. With the bail letter, it was not impossible to release the person.

But he needs to confirm one thing here.

That is where the judicial system in this district sits.

Rotun also gave some instructions to Huba, asking him to pay attention to the families.

They suddenly get 100,000 rupees, which is an astronomical figure for them. If they are not careful, they will lose everything in an instant.

For example, being stolen or robbed.

So they asked Huba to help them open a bank account, and then let Huba pay attention to how to use it.

After all, you have money, but this money is not earned through hard work, so it will be spent up soon, or even squandered all at once.

After Huba went down, Rotten called Pirando.

"Chief, I've already started taking action. I can refuse orders from higher-level police departments, but what if it's an order from the court?" Rawdon asked. "Also, what's the relationship between the district court and our police? Will they side with us?"

Soon, Rotten hung up the phone, and the answer Pirando gave him was somewhat disappointing.

In fact, Rotun was mentally prepared for this, and it was within his expectations.

The current district police force has been completely suppressed by the government and has lost its voice.

Then many things will have a chain reaction, and the judicial system will naturally be unlikely to stand on the side of the police and succumb to the government.

Nowadays, the presidents and judges of county courts basically obey the government's orders.

Their police have very little influence in this regard.

Moreover, the Chief Justice of the Maharashtra High Court is the current Chief Minister's man and is completely loyal to the Chief Minister. In other words, this judicial system can completely interfere with the exercise of power by the police.

Although the police can arrest people, the court can find them not guilty and release them.

Therefore, without the cooperation of the court, the police became somewhat embarrassed.

Roton didn't want to work so hard to catch someone, only to be acquitted by the court.

So he called the district court, which was his friend in Daiwu.

Roden didn't ask him to help prevent the court from issuing a bail letter to Raj.

Because Roton knew very well that Daiwu's friend did not have the power to stop it. After all, this person came from the county through Leser's relationship.

So Luoton asked him to promptly inform him of the news from the District Court regarding Raj. Two hours after the call, the other party called Luoton back.

He said that Raj's lawyer had applied for a bail letter, and he was very sorry about it. He was powerless to stop it and could not help.

Of course, Rotun couldn't blame him. The other party's ability to pass on the message to him was the greatest support and help.

More than an hour later, Hal led a group of people to the police station in a majestic manner, and the first thing he said was to see Rawdon.

"Director, some of those people are carrying cameras and microphones. I wonder which TV station or newspaper they are working for, or reporters." Huba came in and reported to Luo Dun. "Director, we can't let these people in. If this gets out of hand, it will be very disadvantageous to you."

Huba knew very well what Hal's family was capable of, and they would definitely make a fuss about something that happened at the police station.

They would even bribe these reporters to find fault with Rotun, or even report the incident one-sidedly, confusing good and bad. Huba was not unaware of this.

"It's nothing, just let them in." said Rotten.

He still thinks the matter is not big enough, the bigger the better.

As for if they really wanted to discredit him, Rotun had a contingency plan in mind.

Even if Hal hadn't made such a fuss, he was still planning to implement the next move, targeting the judicial system.

Of course, Rotun doesn't have the ability to target directly, but he can exert influence from other aspects, such as relying on the power of the media and public opinion.

Roton called Yunando and asked him to bring his equipment and record it all.

If others can record, I naturally cannot fall behind.

Yunando lived next to the police station and rushed over immediately after hearing Roton's order.

He mingled with the crowd of Hal's group.

There were quite a few people here with filming equipment, so no one paid any attention to the addition of Yunando. They all thought that he was also a staff member of a TV station or newspaper recruited by Hal.

These people even chatted with Younando, asking him how much money Hal gave him.

Unando was no pushover. He immediately realized the impact of this incident on Rotten, so he took the initiative to chat with some colleagues. The topics of conversation were naturally how much bribe Hal had given and how to report it next.

We got a lot of information from these people, such as that they came here to target the chief of the Harreg Police Station. They would not report good things but would report bad things as much as possible, and they would even make up some information.

Yunando secretly recorded all of this.

"Director Mahesh, I didn't expect that we would meet again so soon, did I?" Hal said with a smile.

Hal's face was full of mockery. He had turned the tables and now was his time to be proud.

He had just been humiliated by Rotun and was still feeling resentful about it.

And this time, he wanted to humiliate Rotun.

Aren’t you going to let him go?
I'm prepared this time, how can you not let me go?

Hal glanced at a man in his forties wearing a suit next to him.

The man shook his head slightly to show that he understood.

Then he stepped forward and said, "Director Mahesh, my name is Hundan Ryan. I am a lawyer. Of course, I am currently the lawyer hired by Mr. Har Scindia and I am fully responsible for Mr. Raj Scindia's case."

"Let's talk about the matter." Rotun said lightly. These shameless lawyers are so hateful.

These guys are really like whoever gives them money. As long as the money is in place, they will do everything they can to help those powerful people who have committed crimes to get away with their crimes.

Of course, we can’t blame them entirely. There are various loopholes in the Indian laws that give these lawyers opportunities.

In fact, let alone India, even the laws of those developed countries in the West have loopholes, or they are left there intentionally to help the rich and powerful people get away with it.

As long as you have money and can afford the high legal fees, a big lawyer can help you handle everything.

"I have a bail letter issued by the sub-district court. We are ready to release Mr. Raj Scindia on bail." Hundan said as he took out a piece of paper from his briefcase and put it on Roton's desk.

Rawdon picked up the bail letter and took a look at it.

"Director Mahesh, this is a real bail letter, you have to read it carefully." Hal said sarcastically.

"Yes, it's true." Rotten said as he put down the bail letter.

"Then you can let him go!" Hal snorted coldly.

"The money hasn't been paid yet." Rawdon said lightly.

"The bail has been paid." Hun Dan smiled. At the court, he naturally completed the relevant procedures. After all, the formalities were still necessary, and he couldn't let others find such a simple loophole.

"Bail is for bail. Raj maliciously set fire to houses and injured people, and that money has not yet been paid," said Roton.

"As far as I know, all of this was done by people around Mr. Raj Scindia. The compensation issue has nothing to do with my client," Hun Dan said.

"You said that what you know is just hearsay. I saw it with my own eyes," said Roden. "You must pay 50 rupees in compensation, otherwise I will not let him go."

These words surprised everyone present.

Hun Dan was stunned. What was wrong with this director?

Does he still want to deny the court's bail letter?

Maybe I'm too young and too stubborn.

"Director Mahesh, do you not approve the court's bail letter?"

"Are you refusing to carry out the court's procedures?"

"50 rupees, that sounds like extortion. Could you please explain the exact amount of loss there?"

The reporters in the room became excited and started asking questions.

"This is blackmail, pure blackmail," Hal shouted.

Here, he called a lot of media reporters to put pressure on Rotun.

No matter how arrogant this kid is, so what?

I can kill him easily.

Harage Township is their family's kingdom. Who dares to challenge their authority?
Moreover, he will prepare a big gift for Rotun later. Although he does not necessarily have to kill Rotun, with the witness of many media and the use of media hype, he can completely suspend Rotun and get him fired.

Seeing that his voice attracted everyone's attention, Hal couldn't help but continue: "How much are those shabby thatched houses worth? What are those untouchables worth?"

"Untouchables?" Rotun said with a gloomy face.

Hun Dan, the lawyer next to Hal, felt a pang of fear and quickly said, "Mr. Hal Scindia is saying that the villagers are already very poor and don't have anything valuable. Even if compensation is required, the loss is not worth 50 rupees. Director Mahesh, your compensation amount is too exaggerated."

Hal also reacted at this time. He was used to it.

Those Dalits usually shout like this.

But now he is in front of many media outlets, and many of them are filming with cameras. If this gets out, it will not be a good thing for him.

I'll have to give these guys some more money so they can stop saying those discriminatory words against Dalits.

He has money and doesn't care.

"That's right, what's with 50 rupees? 5 rupees is the most," Hal shouted. "Who doesn't know what the police are like? They can seize 10 rupees out of 9 rupees."

This statement clearly states that Rodon was extorting money. He said it was 50 rupees, but in fact he wanted to keep most of it for himself.

Hal's words resonated with everyone. There was no way around it. This was basically how the police acted these days. There was no injustice.
