Dear Forum Members,
I have experienced a peculiar issue. I am the secretary of the society. The building has been due for redevelopment for last 5 years and there is dispute among society members and they are not agreeing to redevelop the building with personal intention to bring in their own building developers. On moral gorunds and in interest of other society members , we as committee members have not entertained this peronal interest of wanting to bring in own builder. Few reasons are for most people this their only flat and they are pensioners , tomorrow if the flat is not handed over to people , these people will be stranded.
Now as a secretary I have not given into arm twisting of these selfish society members and maintained that we will redevelop when we get a good builder and who will give timely possesion.
Since I have not given into the request , I have been facing following issues and harrasment:
1. Neighbours below our flat have been banging on cieling everyday with stone or hammer at odd hours to disturb us mentally for last 4 years.
2. They have cut off our electricity at 3AM in the night many times.
3.They have damaged our main door with stone and hammer.
To other members:
They have damaged their cars in parking area, now these people park outside society , somewhere far away.
They throw leftovers of fish and meat infront of vegetarian society members.
They have thrown stones at bike at night.
(All of these activities are done at night time or when nobody is watching)
As a result, society members have moved out by selling or living on rent now. They are scared to complaint against these harrasments.
For harrasment towards us, we have approached police and filed complaint. But police has not done anything, they say they need video proof and about the banging on cieling, they say it cannot be proved, though there are clear marks on ceilingof the neighbour when the police came to check after my complaint. I have made several complaints to police and higher authoritis over last 4 years, they have been taken by police to police station. But they still continue banging the ceiling with stone/hammer.
Yesterday i caught the lady below at 7am in the morning with stone in our handed and she had ponded at the door and wall. Again made polie complaint, but police said they cannot take action as there is no video proof.
I am not sure what to do more, I cannot record on video what they do in their house and my family is disturbed , my son is in 12std unable to study , we have sent him to hostel.
Please help me how can I sort this problem. we do have any other house.
Thanks
Rahul Kumar
