I paid this guy 5000, after paying 2500 in income tax off my 7500 earnt. Can I deduct this from my taxable income? @FinancialTimes
I haven’t felt so bad in my life about staying in this country. I feel so bad for everyone else who face it regularly.
Appalled by how outsiders are treated on Pune roads. A minor collision in the congested Tulshibaug area with an unhelmeted motorcycle rider turned into a hostile extortion trap. Showing absolute civic responsibility, I personally dialed 112 to report it.
@PuneCityPolice
@itshshekhar Bad thing is - they will hit someone else, damage themselves, but then the person who was trying to help by telling the police/hospitals gets the bills of innocence
@abhi_kulkarni85@PuneCityPolice@PuneCityTraffic Try dialing 112 for once, you’ll be amazed at this. I’m planning to resign from my job in Pune because of this, I feel like it was the worst day of my life when I experienced something way worse than this.
@VictoryOverFoe@PuneCityPolice@CPPuneCity@nachiket1982@DriveSmart_IN Man, if you go to the police, they will tell you - traffic lights don’t exist in Pune if you can easily break them when there is less traffic. I completely broke down today.
I had a way worse incident than this, but I can’t even post to escape PII and shame.
I fear the systemic bias and ground-level retaliation so much that I am entirely unwilling to share any PII details here. Posting from an alt account just to expose how safety mandates fail law-abiding citizens when a local mob takes over. “FIR means you’re criminal in India”
Shockingly, the sub-inspector claimed "there is no helmet rule in Pune" and stood by, ignoring standard motor vehicle law training just to appease the local crowd. I was forced to pay under duress and fear of ground-level harassment.
