Hello Everyone,
My wife has logged 498 case against me and my parents.
i have got anticipatory bail from session court.
Court order says that
1. All applicant are hereby released on AB on furnishing the securities of rs 15K (each) with one or two sureties.
2. They are directed to remain present in police stn on every tuesd from 11:00 AM to 1:00 PM till filing of charge-sheet.
3. Applicant shall not tamper with the prosecution witnesses in any manner whatsoever.
As per the court order, all three of us are visiting police stn every tuesday and remain there for 3 hours.
Its almost 2 months now since 1st visit. IO is assistant police inspector (3 star).
In last two month he has hardly asked 2 - 3 question to me (that too only in 2nd visit) as part of investigation.
In one of my last visit, his sub-inspector (after speaking with Assit PI on phone) directly asked me to co-operate with them by giving him some bribe. he didnot mention any amount. he was saying that they (means police) were co-operating with us and therefore we also had to take care about them.
I dont know how much money he wants. he knows that i am an IT engineer and knows my package. I guess that information must have been provided by my wife's father who is retired PSI (sub inspec) from another city.
I am bit scared, don't know how much he wants, i am wondering what will happen if i refuse to give them any bribe.
I have already made it very clear that all alegations are false and will definately prove that in court.
I wanted to know what harm they can do if i didn't pay them up.
Will complaining against the IO to higher authorities ( Sr. PI, ACP, DCP) will help me in any case.
If i have to, any idea how much usually people facing with 498 complaint have have to pay.
I had alrady sent written complaint earlier to Joint Commisioner of police for not providing me copy of notice and directly threatning me for arrest without any investigation. Actually IO along with two police constables had came to my house initialy asking me to come over to police station for investigation or face direct arrest, when the complaint was first logged. I had to go underground for almost two weeks while my application for AB was being heard in court.
But that complaint has gone waste, as the letter which i had written was finally forwarded to same IO who was laughing at me on very 1st visit after AB and was telling me that he made a mistake by not arresting me & family directly on that day instead of asking me to come to police stn.
According to him, it was his co-operation that he had to come to my house personnaly and inform me about the complaint.
He has not provided me the copy of FIR till now.
Therefore i was thinking that its better to pay him some bribe rather than escalating the matter.
Please suggest.
