The Indian police has many jokes to its credit, and I attempt to add a true story of the great Lucknow (LKO) police.
My friend Animesh's car broke down and we left it on side of a bridge above the river Gomti. When he later came to retrieve it, it was...... tada!!! Gone.
Apparently a dog died in the vehicle's vicinity, and some nice soul covered it with a sheet. Then some genius mistook it for a dead body, and made his call (phone call) of duty. Finally on a case, a task force came to carefully uncover the sheet, recovering our friend the dead dog.
Pissed off, the anger of the hardworking and goose chasing cops came down on the car, as how dare an abandoned car be near the body of a dead dog??
The horror!!!
Tracking down the car's owner was another bitch for them as it was registered in Animesh's dada's name, who forgot about it and refused to identify it.
When Animesh finally reached the station, the cop simply states:"Bhai tumhari gaadi ne toh hamaari gaand hi maar di" (your car screwed us big time).
Is that WOW or wat?
