I love my India
An unedited email from Vasanth:
My project assistant who came home for lunch was impressed with the new car and decided to take his car out in the evening. He drove through the gully of a slum and hit an old lady. Though the old lady did not sustain much injuries the slum dwellers tried to extort him. They took away his car, his MP3 player and his money purse and made him a hostage and demanded a ransom of Rs.1,00000 as ransom from his parents. He was in that place for 5 hours and he managed to call me at 10 pm. I took a few of my friends with me to karthik ( project assisntants) place, took a duplicate key for his car and we stealthily removed the car from the slum. Before we did this sting operation i had filed a complaint with the local police station that the car was stolen.And then i went to the spot to rescue his parents and him. His parents had already arranged for the money. There were 50 people around and everybody began to yell when i talked. They threatened to hit me but before they did something my fist had landed on three of them!!!! Everybody fled away after the three of them got hit. The police landed by then and they were taken to the station at 2 am and i drove back to mysore at 4 am!!!!
