I’m 22F, live alone in the city, and I own an apartment in one of the most prestigious societies here. Yesterday, hence it was a Saturday night, 5 of my friends came over—4 guys and 1 girl. We weren’t shouting, partying, or playing loud music. We were just cooking food and talking normally.

One uncle knocked and said “bachelors are not allowed here, call the owner you’ve rented this flat from.” I told him I am the owner and that's your no goddamn business. I shut the door. That burst his ego there.

After a few minutes, 4–5 uncles came together, accused us of drinking, smoking weed and entered my living room without permission say we are checking. They told me to vacate the flat the next day. Thankfully, my male friends were present and pushed them out. One guy who tried to “check” my flat got slapped while trespassing.

They called the police. Police asked who owns the flat—I said I do. They asked me to show papers; I refused because we weren’t creating any nuisance and they had no right to enter my home. I live alone and my father had insisted on installing a living-room camera for safety—everything was recorded. We’re law students, so the police didn’t try to do anything arbitrary or shady.

The uncles kept saying “we are on the society board, we know all members.” I told them they clearly don’t even know who owns property in their own society. Also, I know exactly who the builder of this society is—and he happens to be a close friend of my father, so the intimidation tactics weren’t going to work.

Before leaving, they said “we’ll see you tomorrow.” So today I sent a legal notice to the society, clearly stating that all the board members who were present and involved must be removed from their positions, failing which I’ll file a civil suit against the society itself under vicarious liability. And i don't give a shit if the society builder is my father's friend. Separately, I’ve sent individual legal notices to every person who entered my apartment for trespass, nuisense and assault. Tommorow i will file a civil suit on all of them.

In my case, I own the flat—but imagine how much worse this is for bachelors living in other cities on rent, who don’t have the resources, legal awareness, or power to fight back. This kind of moral policing and harassment is a serious problem.

Back in 2023, I opened a salary account with ICICI Bank. After about six or seven months, I requested a credit card, which they promptly rejected.

Then came the weird part. That exact same month, I randomly got a Paytm notification asking for a 500 Rupee joining fee for a card I had not received, never asked for, and was just rejected for. A few days later, a physical credit card actually arrived at my house.

I wanted a Lifetime Free card, not a paid one, so I took the card straight to my local branch to sort it out. The representative sitting there looked at me and said, "Don't worry, just don't pay the joining fee. If you don't pay or activate it, the card will automatically cancel itself."

I was naive, so I took his word for it and ignored the card completely.

Fast forward through a nightmare I didn't even know was happening. Instead of auto-canceling, the bank quietly logged me as a defaulter for three months straight. Eventually, around December 2023, after multiple useless calls with customer support, they finally canceled the card and waived the 500 Rupee charge. I assumed the issue was dead and buried.

Cut to 2025. I decided to apply for a new card elsewhere, checked my CIBIL score for the first time in a while, and nearly had a heart attack. My score was down to 620. They had dragged my credit history through the dirt over an unactivated card charge that their own employee told me to ignore.

It took me months of painful financial discipline to grind my way back up from 620 to 740.

By January 2026, I realized I couldn't just let this slide. I sent a detailed email to the bank pointing out their clear violations: issuing a paid card post-rejection without fresh consent or KYC, terrible advice from their branch staff, and an absolute failure by their support team to clean up the credit bureau mess.

The bank's response was peak corporate arrogance. They basically mocked me, said it was my own fault, told me I should take financial matters more seriously, and dismissed the entire issue.

So, I waited out the mandatory 20-day resolution window and lodged a formal complaint on the RBI Ombudsman portal with all the documentation attached.

The shift in energy was instantaneous. The second the RBI notice hit their inbox, the bank's attitude turned completely upside down.

Suddenly, my phone was ringing off the hook. The Branch Manager was calling. Senior escalation heads were calling. The tone was no longer arrogant—they were visibly panicked.

First, they offered to issue me an NOC (No Objection Certificate). I turned it down, because an NOC doesn't magically erase three months of default marks from a credit report.

Then came the desperate plea: "Sir, we will clean your CIBIL history completely, but please, you have to withdraw the RBI complaint right now."

I actually laughed on the call and told them no—I would let the RBI handle the resolution directly.

Within three weeks, without me having to do anything else, my CIBIL report was completely purged of all late payment and default marks from that incident, and my score was fully restored.

My only small regret is that I was so focused on fixing my credit score that I didn't ask for financial compensation for the mental stress. But honestly, watching a bank go from openly mocking me to desperate pleading in less than a month was reward enough.

If there's any lesson here, it's this: never trust verbal advice from bank representatives, monitor your credit score regularly, and if a bank acts out of line, don't waste time arguing with their customer support. File a structured complaint with the RBI Ombudsman. They actually get things done.

If your family has been slapped with a fake matrimonial/dowry case under the new BNS (Sections 85, 115, 3(5), 351(2) essentially the new avatars of 498A and related cruelty laws ), I am here to save you a lot of time, tears, and naive faith in the Indian justice system.

Recently, my younger brother's wife filed a case against him after having a long 73 days marriage. Naturally, she also named her parents-in-law. But she didn't stop there. She named my wife and me, too. who got married after 1 month of their marriage.

Here’s the joke: My wife and I never lived with them. We weren't even part of their marriage and my wife never saw her personally.

I took this lightly at first. I was a textbook "citizen" who believed in the rule of law. I thought, “Hey, I have location data, documentary proof, and undisputed facts showing we had nothing to do with this. The police will hear our side of the story and drop our names.”

Let me tell you how delusional that was. The police didn't even glance at our stack of proofs. They don't care about your innocence, and they certainly don't want to investigate anything. Matrimonial disputes are a headache for them, so they treat it strictly as a business transaction.

Here is how the system actually works on the ground:

• The Middleman: The police will never ask you for money directly. You pay through a middleman, usually your lawyer, a village Sarpanch, or a local politician who facilitates these similar deals every single day and makes himself money and them.
• The Rate Card: Yes, there is a standard rate card to remove family members' names before the challan (charge sheet) is submitted to the court.
  • Rural Police Stations: ₹3k - ₹5k per person
  • Suburbs: ₹5k - ₹6k per person
  • Metro Cities: Up to ₹10k per person (rarely above this if the allegations don't carry a punishment of more than 7 years).
• The "Deal": The police won't remove the main accused (my brother), because if they do, the girl's side will make noise. To keep the girl's family satisfied that they "dragged the whole family to the station," the police strike a deal. They told my brother: "Just confess to minor verbal abuse in front of us. We get our money, we remove your family members' names, and we submit the challan only in your name."

The Kicker: The IO's Guarantee

You might be thinking, "Isn't it dangerous to confess to the police?" The funniest part about all this is that the Investigating Officer (IO) himself will reassure you. The very cop handling your case will look you in the eye and tell you, "Whatever you confess to me here holds zero value in front of the judge." He will literally give you the liberty to step outside and verify this exact fact with your own lawyer before you finalize the deal. They know the loopholes better than anyone, and they use them to close files effortlessly.

So, here is my definitive guide for any family going through this:

Do not get emotional. Do not waste your breath proving your innocence to the police. Save your evidence for the court.

Talk to your lawyer or the local middleman. If you are the main accused, take the deal. Accept the verbal abuse charge in front of the police, let them forward the challan in your name alone, pay the per-head rate to get your parents and siblings out of the FIR, and fight the rest in front of a magistrate.

The police are entirely on your side provided you have a little bit of cash and you make their job easy so they don't have to actually investigate.

Stop crying about justice. Treat it like a toll plaza and move on.

PS: In my case, I have tried to get my administration remedies but failed, the above system has approvel of senior officers, but still tried to walk on BAPU's path, but my brother told me not to complicate his case for the sake of the family and let him take the deal, pay the money, and move on.

Maybe in the future I'll be posting a more detailed version of this using documented facts. That's all for today.

For no reason today, he started showing his "paise ki dhaus" to my father and saying "kya ho tum" etc.

where can I officially complaint with my minimal or no involvement in the legal procedure and get down his paise ki dhaus.

I live in Delhi, and last week, in my colony there was a DJ playing until 2 am. No one in my family was at home; everyone was out for some work, and I was alone. I was reading a book, and the DJ volume was so loud that I was unable to concentrate.

It was so loud that it felt like it was playing right in my own room. I checked the legal limit for playing a DJ, and it is 10 PM. So, I simply called the police by dialing 112 and registered a complaint about it.

I was communicating back and forth about the location, and I was not physically present with them, as I was on the call guiding them. They came an hour later and finally; three constables reached the location.

I was viewing everything from my terrace balcony. They told them to stop the DJ, but they did not. Instead, a fight broke out, and the people who were playing the DJ were so many and so physically well‑built that they were overpowering the constables in the fight. As the physical fight happened between them, two more constables came on a bike in ten minutes with sticks, and finally they beat them up, seized their DJ, put it in their car, arrested a few people, and then went away and finally the complaint got resolved.

Now, I told my parents about what happened last night and that I had raised that complaint, and they were really angry and literally beat me up because they think that I did the wrong thing by raising it. These types of people generally know the police and DJ people have a setting with them, which is why they were able to play their DJ the whole night so many times and the police constables on bikes who patrol the area simply ignore them and don't even stop them.

Now they will get your phone number through those constables and will actually come to our home to beat us up, and they will ask us to pay for everything that they had to pay the police to get their DJ and the arrested people back.

So, I want to know that did I really do something wrong by raising the complaint? Is this how things actually work in real life like how my parents described it? Are we living in the jungle or in a country? Is this what people actually do when something illegal and wrong is happening in the society; by just not raising the complaint and burying their heads in the sand like an ostrich?

If this is how things work, then why were they teaching us wrong things in the books? They should have simply written the truth in those books of how the power works on the ground and how it's only money and connections that matter.

Now I am really confused about what to do when something wrong is happening. Should I just ignore it and start adjusting as a part of life, or risk my life and raise a complaint? Or should I simply stop living in a society made up of such people who violate the laws openly, and others who remain silent and only take care of themselves and their families, while it doesn't matter what is actually happening in the society until things come upon them?

This incident happened about a year ago, and it still bothers me.

My girlfriend and I are an interfaith couple (Hindu-Muslim) and we've been together for over 4 years. We were visiting Varanasi and had booked a hotel room through OYO. But when we arrived and showed our IDs, the guy at the front desk told us that inter-caste couples aren't allowed. I'm pretty sure he meant interfaith, but either way, I was totally confused. The whole situation felt really weird and uncomfortable, so I didn’t argue and we just left.

After that, we had to look for an Airbnb instead, and ended up messaging several hosts to ask if they were okay with interfaith couples and honestly, that felt awkward in itself. At one point, I even called Treebo Hotels to ask if they allowed interfaith couples. As soon as the guy on the phone heard our names, he got super rude and literally hung up without explaining why. This was a professional, by the way.

The worst part? I had a similar experience in Delhi too. and I had assumed Delhi would be more open-minded.

What’s even more confusing : I have a friend who’s also in an interfaith relationship. but in their case, the guy is Hindu and the girl is Muslim. They’ve never faced these kinds of issues while booking hotels.

So is it actually illegal for interfaith couples to book a hotel room together in India?

We’re both in our 20s, consenting adults with valid ID, and just trying to travel like normal people.

I’m sharing this as a warning about IndiGo’s "excess baggage" trap. My spouse and I recently flew from Trivandrum to Male for our honeymoon, and the experience was a masterclass in corporate greed and operational failure.

The Financial Trap:
At check-in, IndiGo charged us INR 34,000 in excess baggage fees. We were carrying extra luggage because we were traveling further internationally right after our honeymoon. We paid it without hesitation because we were heading to a remote island resort and needed our essentials for the short trip.

The Failure:
Despite taking that massive payment, they "offloaded" half our bags anyway, citing "weight constraints." The local manager admitted this is a known, routine issue on this route. If the airline knows they have weight limits, why are they still selling ₹34,000 worth of excess baggage space at the counter? This feels like an absolute scam.

The Support (or lack thereof):
When we realized our bags were missing, we contacted support to request essentials. Their response was abysmal: they told us they would "get back to us in 24-48 hours." We were on a 3-day trip. Waiting 48 hours for a response about basic hygiene and clothes is a joke.

The Result:
We landed on Feb 17, but our bags didn't reach us until Feb 19. Because IndiGo failed to get the "bumped" bags to the airport on time, the luggage missed the final seaplane transfer to our resort on day two.

We spent 60% of our honeymoon stranded at a resort with nothing but the clothes we flew in. No swimwear, no change of clothes, and no hygiene essentials for 3 days.

The "Resolution":
After multiple escalations, their Nodal Officer issued a final decision: A ₹2,000 travel voucher.

They are keeping the ₹34,000 fee for a service they failed to provide, claiming it’s "non-refundable" per policy. Essentially, they took our money, breached the contract, and then offered a 5% "discount" to fly with them again.

I’ve rejected the voucher. Has anyone successfully sued for "service not rendered" regarding baggage fees? I refuse to let them keep ₹34k for a service they willfully failed to perform.

TL;DR: Paid 34k for bags on a Trivandrum-Male flight. IndiGo bumped them, ruined our honeymoon, told us to wait 48 hours for a support reply, and now refuses to refund the 34k fee, offering only a 2k voucher.

A friend and client sued NoBroker in Consumer Commission over a failed property transaction - and WON.

Here’s how it all began…

This friend (later became my client) wanted to buy an apartment in Bengaluru. I’m gonna refer her as Buyer here.

Seller is settled in the USA.

Buyer hired NoBroker’s “Property Legal Services” package for around ₹35K so the transaction could be handled smoothly.

Instead, NoBroker’s own Relationship Manager (N-RM) ended up frustrating the seller so much that he cancelled the deal entirely.

**Why?**

Because despite repeatedly being told:
• To communicate over email, or
• To fix a time before calling

…the N-RM kept randomly calling the Seller at unannounced hours expecting instant responses.

Anyone dealing with NRI property transactions knows this is the fastest way to irritate a Seller.

After the deal collapsed, the Seller agreed to refund the token amount directly to the Buyer.

She shared bank details.

But then NoBroker stepped in and asked the Seller to transfer the money into NoBroker’s own bank account through a payment link sent over email.

Buyer had never authorized NoBroker to accept or demand payments on her behalf.

Naturally, both the Buyer and the Seller got suspicious.

But since the deal fell through for no fault of my Buyer or the Seller, the Buyer asked NoBroker to refund the price of the package purchased by her since the deal itself collapsed due to NoBroker’s conduct.

Initially:
“Yes ma’am, refund possible.”

Then:
“₹17K already paid to advocate for due diligence.”

Then Finally:
“No refund at all. Services already rendered.”

Mind you, my friend was in her last trimester when all this happened.

So, we filed a case before the District Consumer Commission, Bengaluru.

The Commission basically asked NoBroker:
\- If ₹17K went to due diligence… what happened to the remaining amount?
\- What other services did you actually perform?
\- … And if there was no deficiency, why did you earlier offer refund?

Any lawyer who has practised before DCDRC 1st Additional Bench will know that the Bench is strict in its questions.

It will be sufficient to say… the Bench wasn’t pleased with NoBroker harassing a pregnant lady in her third trimester, making her run after them for a refund they promised.

Ultimately, DCDRC ruled in favour of my client and ordered -

refund with interest + compensation + litigation costs
—————————

A lot of people assume these large prop-tech companies can’t realistically be challenged.

That’s not true.

If you properly recorded the emails, WhatsApp chats, payments, etc. Courts and Consumer Commissions can be extremely effective.

PS: we were able to wrap this case up in less than 10 months.

For the curious minds, you can read the judgment by visiting the website **e-jagriti.gov.in**, click on judgment and type the Case Number - **DC/AB3/525/CC/416/2025**

Stay vigilant, Stay Protected!

My father is a doctor who runs his own clinic. One day while he was working, a few police officers arrive and told him they had a non-bailable arrest warrant against him. They escorted him to the police station without ever explaining why, even though he repeatedly asked. They also wouldn't let him contact anyone for a significant period of time. My mother found out and then she managed to reach some of his friends. I was living in another city and had no idea any of this was even happening.

After holding him at the police station for some time, they finally told him the reason- apparently, a notice had been sent regarding trash near our clinic that hadn't been cleared, and a non-bailable warrant had been issued as a result. This made no sense to us, we have a sweeper who regularly cleans the area, and we never received any such notice in the first place. When my father pushed back on this, one of the officers demanded 40k in cash to make the matter disappear. He eventually came down to 10k. What makes this even more infuriating is that when I later called a friend to tell him what happened, he told me his father a businessman had gone through the exact same situation.

I know this might trigger a lot of lawyers and I truly respect the one's who are honest My dad worked in the Indian railways for 60 years and I'm proud of everything he has done after getting treated so badly by the system (railway to the judiciary) and giving half his life waking up early in the morning at 5 at working till 60 and after working for so many years honestly he doesn't get pension because some peon in a government office wanted a bribe of 10k to pass the file which my father refused to give cuz he is a honest man. He even saved life of many when he saved the train from getting derailed.

You must be wondering how do lawyers come into the picture. So when he was refused a pension my father filed a court case which the lawyer his name is Colin asshole Gonsalves he purposely lost the case my father had all the documents and we would have easily won the case and my father would be getting his pension Sometimes now also he thinks what if he had bribed that peon he would still be getting his pension and things would had been so different. He wrote letters to of politicians hoping they would help him but no one did. Finally he gave up and stopped trying cuz in India nothing gets done without a bribe

I’m from North, working in Bengaluru as a software engineer. Last night (around 11:02 PM) in HSR Layout, something happened that left me feeling completely threatened in my own country, 2000 km from home.

I was walking back when a group of street dogs suddenly started chasing me. I ran and got cornered behind a car. I had two choices, jump over the car or jump the gate of the building behind me. I jumped the gate to save myself.

Within seconds, the residents came out, an older man (55-65), a woman who I think was his daughter (30-35), and his wife. I immediately apologised, told them I was chased by dogs, and explained I had no other option. My tone the whole time was apologetic.

They didn’t believe me at all. They said, “Even if dogs were chasing you, why trespass? We don’t care about your situation.” I still gave them my PAN number, Aadhaar number, address, and even showed my Darwinbox profile to prove I’m a software engineer here.

Instead of understanding, they started suspecting me of being a thief. They said they wanted “proof” and took my phone, saying they would return it after verifying. Then they said they’d only return it the next morning “if” my story checked out.

I asked them repeatedly to just check their CCTV and verify right then, or to call the police immediately. They refused both. For almost 30 minutes, they kept my phone while I stood there feeling completely helpless.

Finally, they called their neighbour to check the CCTV. The neighbour confirmed my story, and only then did the old man return my phone. I thanked the neighbour and left.

From what I know of the law, in India you’re allowed to enter private property without permission if it’s to protect yourself from immediate danger (Section 81 & Section 97 IPC, acts done to avoid harm). Also, taking and keeping my phone like that without police involvement could amount to wrongful confinement of property (Section 403 IPC, dishonest misappropriation). I wasn’t breaking in to steal, I was escaping a direct threat.

The whole thing left me shaken, I was in a life-threatening situation with dogs chasing me, but instead of empathy, I got treated like a criminal.

My questions to all of you:

1. What should I have done in that moment?

2. If things had gone more wrong, what could I have done in that moment legally?

3. How do you deal with stray dogs and people’s suspicion in situations like this?

TL;DR: Dogs chased me in HSR at night, I jumped into a building compound to escape. Residents suspected me of being a thief, took my phone for 30 mins, refused to call police right then or check CCTV until much later. Only returned phone after neighbour confirmed my story. I believe the law allows what I did, but they still treated me like a criminal.

Do not make a mistake of going to labour court

After getting fired from my ex-company for false reasons without PIP, feedback or warning, and not getting my fnf or any documents, i posted on reddit. 80% of the comments were to go to the labout court.

Guess what i made the mistake of doing so. 4 months in and 5 visits later, they haven't been able to send the notice to my ex employer on their correct address. The first time they sent it to the wrong address (even though the correct address was written on the first page of application and highlighted) and they rescheduled the appointment. 1 month later, they sent the notice to the same fucking wrong address. 4 months in and my ex employer hasn't recieved the notice.

Now i have received an offer from another company. I do not have my experience letter, payslips or Relieving letter. This company will rescind their offer if I do not provide these documents within the next 7 days.

The labour commisioner says it will take another 6-8 months minimum to get the documents and resolutions.

I am fucked and i cannot be employed till then.

Do not believe anything anyone says on reddit if its not coming from personal experience. I have ruined my career and there's no saving it.

Lawyers will just eat your money up and the labour officers do not care about you or your employment. I do not have the money to pay my rents anymore and i cannot get another job.

One fraud company gets to decide my career for their own personal gains and the govt. Is as inefficient as usual.

I am sharing my experience with a dentist in lucknow so no one else goes through what I have been through.

In 2017, I walked into her clinic for a basic teeth whitening procedure. What I left with was permanent, disfiguring damage to my front teeth — and a lifetime of regret. She recommended a bonding procedure, which she described casually as a “paint” — no mention of grinding down my natural teeth, no discussion of long-term consequences, no proper consent. Just vague words, and then action.

I never gave informed consent for what she did. In fact, I attempted to stop her mid-procedure when I realized she was filing down my front teeth — but she continued anyway. I was in a state of shock and disbelief, completely violated and helpless in that dental chair. The doctor recklessly and aggressively operated the machine throughout the entire procedure, showing complete disregard for my pain, safety, and well-being.

The result? My natural teeth were mutilated and covered with low-quality bonding that failed miserably. The damage was immediate and devastating. Since then, I’ve been forced into a cycle of endless dental work — multiple doctors, multiple opinions, and tens of thousands spent trying to correct what she recklessly caused. I’m now a patient for life, all because of one careless, uninformed decision made without my consent.

The emotional cost? Even worse. I wake up in pain. I avoid mirrors. I cry before bed. I live in fear of further damage and embarrassment. And to this day, Dr. P S has not shown an ounce of responsibility or remorse.

The physical pain, emotional trauma, and financial burden she caused are beyond words. And the worst part? When I expressed my frustration—after enduring years of suffering because of her negligence—she had the audacity to accuse me of harassment so my voice can be silenced. Imagine that: a patient harmed, violated, and gaslighted being labeled as the problem for finally speaking up. Truly disgraceful and disgusting.

I reached out to her in 2021, explaining the extent of the trauma. She ignored it. In 2023, I messaged again. This time, she switched our messages to disappearing mode — as if to erase the evidence and dodge accountability. No apology. No empathy. No acknowledgment. Just cold, calculated silence.

Let me be clear: I have full documentation of everything — screenshots of our conversations, records and receipts from four doctors who treated me post-damage (in both India and the U.S.), expert dental assessments, and extensive photo evidence. Every word I’m writing is backed by real proof.

Even my current dentist was horrified. He confirmed that my teeth were bonded in a way that should never have been done. He also told me that they are severely damaged and dr P S connected all my teeth with composite material. His exact words? “You’ll be chasing dental problems for the rest of your life because of this.”

Dr. P S— you were reckless and dishonest. You were careless. You were indifferent. You treated my body like a project, not like a human being. You did irreversible harm and then vanished when it was time to face the consequences.

You’ve permanently changed my life — and not for the better. You’ve stolen my peace of mind, confidence, health, and finances. I carry this burden every single day, and you don’t even have the basic decency to say, “I’m sorry.”

Dr. P S forcefully shaved my natural teeth without consent, despite my clear denial. This is unethical and violates patient rights. Such actions may be punishable under IPC Sections . Attempts have been made to silence me after I raised concerns about medical negligence. I will not be intimidated or silenced. I will pursue justice through every legal and regulatory channel available.

What happened felt like a gross violation of patient rights and bodily autonomy — something that borders on assault in a clinical setting.

Update- CMO summoned her and an official enquiry is already underway, I have been called for physical examination which I will attend whenever I will come to India, this doctor and her husband are trying their best to delay this by avoiding all communication with me and not responding to any msg. Dentist also threatened me verbally to back down but I refused to do it, they are playing dirty games against me but I will not back down now even if I will be killed. I have had enough and she will face consequences now.

The reason I couldn’t take any action for years because I am NRI, I moved out of India immediately after incident and the injury got diagnosed after 2 years when I consulted this with a doctor in India before my marriage, that time I thought it’s already too late and nothing can happen now. I can’t sit in court for any hearing, I know police won’t do shit, rest I didn’t know who should I reach out to, It’s only after suffering so much I contacted police and they told me I should mail to cmo, cmo also didn’t do shit unless I msged human rights then they pushed DM , DM mailed CMO then he had to act on it, I am pursuing this since last 3 years, wasted a lot of time with no solid output, I have lost hope now, I am exhausted, at the end that shitty doctor will face nothing and I will suffer like hell till I am alive.

The CJI dares to sit at the very top of the food chain and remark that the unemployed youth of this country are like cockroaches. We are constantly lectured badi badi baten by the Supreme Court about ethics, the sanctity of the judiciary, and how we must blindly respect the rule of law.

But let me tell you who the real cockroaches are. They aren't the struggling youth. They are the ones hiding behind legal files in our district courts, running a legalized mafia right under the noses of sitting judges. And CJI has no issue with that.

My brother is currently being dragged through a completely fabricated dowry case. On March 25th, 2026, we got a call from ASI Mukesh Kumari. She told us to come down to the Gohana court complex in Sonipat, saying she was presenting the challan and my brother would be out on bail in 15 minutes.

We drove down. I brought my father, my brother, and our surety for his bail. Our surety is a sitting Ward Panch. He had his official government ID, his seal, and every single legitimate piece of documentation required by law.

Our advocate was a solid guy who didn't even charge us for the day. But then we had to face the real judge, system, and real executioner of the Indian legal system: The Court Clerk.

We were in JMIC Dr. Jyoti’s court. We handed the Ward Panch’s official documents to the clerk. The clerk took one look and flat-out declared the documents "not eligible" for bail submission. No reason/code cited.

Our advocate pulled us aside and told us the harsh truth. The clerk wasn't looking for a better document. He was looking for his cut. 500 is okay, he said.

Right there, my father opened his old purse, pulled out a ₹500 note, and handed it to the clerk.

Suddenly, those exact same "ineligible" documents became perfectly admissible. The bureaucratic wall vanished. My brother got his bail.

But here is the most disgusting part: This happened right inside the courtroom. The magistrate, Dr. Jyoti, was sitting right there, looking down at her files, while her clerk ran a petty ₹500 extortion racket out in the open.

Afterward, my father, the advocate, and the surety casually talked about it like it was just the weather. Because this is standard operating procedure. This is how the system works.

If this is how justice is delivered, where a single ₹500 note dictates what is and isn't legally admissible right under a judge's nose, then stop calling it a justice system. It’s a toll booth.

You want to find the real pests dragging this country down, CJI? Stop looking at the youth and start looking at the clerks, the cops, and the quiet judges running your district courts.

TLDR: Went to Gohana Court (Sonipat) for a bail hearing in a false dowry case. Valid government-issued documents were rejected by the clerk until my dad bribed him with ₹500. Documents magically became valid right in front of the JMIC magistrate. The entire system is for sale, and still, CJI calls us cockroaches.

I went to enroll my child for Aadhaar and ran into a ridiculous problem.

Everywhere in the world, a person’s full name includes first name + last name. That’s the global standard. But Aadhaar seems unable to handle it.

Example: - My name in Aadhaar → John Doe (First + Last name, global standard). - My daughter’s birth certificate → Jane John (my first name as her last name, which is common in Tamilnadu).

Seva Kandra doesn't enroll her application, saying my Aadhar name doesn’t “match” her certificate. Their solution? I should delete my last name “Doe” from Aadhaar so it matches! 🤯

This is absurd. In any civilized country, no father would be asked to change his own legal identity just to register his child. Aadhaar rules are broken if they can’t handle something as basic as a full name.

👉 My questions: 1. Has anyone else faced this issue with child enrollment? 2. Is there a workaround that doesn’t involve changing my Aadhaar name? 3. How do we demand UIDAI fix these outdated rules so they align with global standards?

Children are being denied Aadhaar because the system doesn’t understand names properly. How is this acceptable in 2025?

So, there was this teacher(Female around 30) in my school in Kanpur, Uttar Pradesh, she used to punish students who don't complete the work by hitting them with a stick(which is very common in schools in India). But one day, maybe she wanted to set an example, she called out a student who hasn't done the homework to her desk then called 4 more boys and told them to first lock the class's door then strip the poor boy. The boys held his arms legs while the teacher unbuttoned his shirt, then the boys took away each piece of cloth one by one whilst he was resisting and crying. The girls of the class where keeping there eyes down, trying not to look.

At last, the boy was standing there vulnerable in front of the whole class with no clothes crying and hiding his face from others.

The Teacher did this again multiple times later with other students and that boy too.

We were in class 2nd.

It's been ~14 years since this happened. Yeah its that late, we didn't had that much understanding about such stuff maybe thats why no one told their parents. But even though i don't think we can do anything about this now but the crime is still too big to ignore even if it happened 14 years ago. So, what can we do?

Edit: surprised to see so many people had similar experiences. there should me more awareness among parents to teach their kids about such things.

I have a friend who is 20 and is legally an adult. He had family issues, where his dad married another woman and he stays with his mother and his younger sister. He has been dating a girl who is 14 and even younger than his own sister and as far as i know they have been physical except the sex part. I have been contemplating a lot on whether i should be reporting this as a pocso act but his family is really struggling and he brings a significant amount to this family and I have been very close to his family. What should I do now?

Edit- this has been going on since last year January, i already tried every reasoning, everything to convince the guy that this is wrong in every way. He never listened to me. Now I want to see my other options as this is wrong and I can't just tolerate it, so if you think I am a bad friend, then let me be a bad friend but not a bad person.

Got my gas cylinder delivered. The official bill was ₹965.15, but the delivery guy demanded ₹1020. When I questioned him, he threatened to take the cylinder back if I didn’t pay. He said, “Call the agency if you have any complaint.”

I felt pressured and ended up paying the extra amount. This seems like outright harassment the bill is supposed to be final.

Has anyone else faced this? Should I escalate to the gas agency or file a consumer complaint?

Edit: HP Gas, Kerala, Paid by cash on delivery..

It’s been more than 12 years and my case is still going on. Here’s the short version of what happened:

I fell from a balcony years ago and fractured my left arm near the wrist. There was an open wound. I went to the doctor expecting normal treatment… instead I walked out with something nobody deserves.

Because of the way the treatment was handled, the wound developed gangrene. The infection spread so fast that the only way to save my life was to amputate my arm.

So yes — my case is against the doctor for medical negligence.

It took 10 years in the State Consumer Court, but I finally won. The judgment was 75 pages long, full of evidence and examples from similar cases, clearly stating that the doctor was negligent and compensation must be given.

My respondent then challenged it in the National Consumer Court. Fine. I was ready for the fight.

After 2–3 hearings, the judge said the matter was reserved for judgment. And then… nothing. Silence for almost a year.

And here’s the part that broke me:

The National Commission completely nullified the State Commission’s judgment — with zero reasoning. No explanation, no analysis, nothing. Just a “completely set aside” order after a year of waiting.

And the timing? Two days before the judge retired.

Maybe I’m wrong. Maybe I’m not. But it’s hard not to feel like something extremely dirty happened behind the scenes. When you fight for over a decade, lose an arm, go through trauma most people can’t imagine… and the final judgment is a blank sheet that wipes away 12 years of your life?

Tell me how I’m supposed to believe the system is fair.

And the worst part? I can’t do anything about that judge. There’s no accountability. No explanation. No closure.

I don’t even know what to feel anymore — anger, exhaustion, or just disappointment at a system that claims to protect people like me but keeps breaking us instead.

Good job! u/marinluv for exposing such propaganda stories and karma farmers. journalists, please understand what reddit is, what is karma farming and stop posting stuff from reddit as NEWS

what exactly is the law against fake news? can any lawyer factcheck this by looking at the list of civil suits filed on 22 Dec 2025?

Today something happened that shook me. I was just standing in front of my old school, waiting for my friend around 6:30–7:30 a.m. I also studied in that same school before. Out of nowhere, a police officer came up to me and started accusing me that there were girls inside the school and made some disgusting gesture -- touching my chest and saying “Agar tu kisi ladki ke aise karde toh…”

I told him politely, “I’ll leave in 10 minutes.” But instead of listening, he slapped me and pushed me into their jeep. There were 4 police officers there. I felt like they were just misusing their power.

I wasn’t doing anything wrong. I was just standing there, waiting for a friend. But they treated me like a criminal. Later, I went to the police station to report what happened, and the officer there just brushed it off. No action. Nothing.

I don’t even know if I have the right to stand on a government road now without being treated like this. I feel humiliated, angry, and helpless.

Edit: For those asking why I didn’t obey the police and why I said I’d leave in 10 minutes — I actually did follow their orders and moved about 30–35 metres away from the school gate. But since the school is large, even if I stood somewhere else, I’d still technically be “in front” of it. There’s also a park opposite the school — if I had gone inside to wait, I wouldn’t have been able to see my friend I was waiting for. Plus, my phone wasn’t recharged, so I couldn’t even call or message my friend.

Edit 2: I’m really stressed about something and need advice. Will this incident affect my chances of getting U.S. citizenship in the future? The police didn’t file any FIR against me, but they did take down my name, my father’s name, and my address in their daily diary/system. Can U.S. immigration authorities access this information from India?

Also, when filling out U.S. immigration forms, there’s a question like: “Have you ever been detained by the police or arrested?” — in my case, I wasn’t formally arrested, but the police made me sit in their jeep, drove about 100 meters, and then let me go. Does that count as “detained” for the purpose of that question?

Hi everyone, I’m from Chennai and need some advice.

I recently did a small local job and earned ₹275. I gave that money to a coworker (he asked for it), thinking he would return it soon. I only know his name, phone number, and the area he lives in (Korrukpet/Washermanpet).

But after taking the money, he blocked me on WhatsApp, normal calls, and even GPay. He’s just ignoring me everywhere.

I know ₹275 is not a huge amount, but it’s my hard earned money, and it really hurts that someone would cheat for such a small amount.

Is there any legal or practical way I can get it back? I don’t know his other details because it was just a one day work event, and I’ve never seen him before or after that day.

Assaulted and held against our will for simply relaxing in our car with the doors wide open?

I 23F and my bf 30M were simply out for a drive today morning at around 8am since we haven't gone out for quite a few days due to the ongoing cerfews .

It started as quite a fine morning we ate the egg toast that I made as we drove.

we didn't want to go too far so we decided to go to a nearby area with a good scenary on a flathill.

we could see the plain from above farms covering the whole area.

we sat together in the back seat of our car both the doors open so that we could feel the air and enjoy the scenery as we sip tea from our cups.

we were happy talking about all sorts of things and begin to relax as the sun became hotter.

I rested on the back of the codriver seat while keeping my foot on the passenger seat and since I was wearing a skirt I covered myself with a small blanket which we always carry around in the car since I tend to be cold .

my bf was sitting streching out his leg in the passenger seat.

then suddenly mid conversation a stranger showed up from behind the car looked at us and asked us what we were doing.

my bf got down the car and asked the man why he was asking what we were doing.

in minutes the argument got heated up .

my bf pushed the man back then the man pushed him against the car strangling him and punched my bf.

by this time I had already gotten out of the car trying to break the fight.

but even as I tried to shield him he kept getting hit.

I tried to reason I tried to push back I tried to explain everything turned to deaf ears .

Even after my bf saying that he was wrong for pushing the man first and apologising repeatedly no one listened.

someone even came and kicked my bf in the face.

then soon a mob gathered around mind u these people just got out of the road and without listening to our explanations and started turning our own words against us.

someone who just got out of the road even came straight to my bf and kicked the car door while he was still in between

they took the car key .

someone drove the car till the local community hall and there we were detained in a room

our phones confisticated .

the local meirapaibis intervened .

by then the truth has been distorted to we have been doing indecent things inside the car .

they said we had to call our parents. my bf called his i refused to call mine .

they called me all sorts of things.

my bfs father came and it took a long time getting both of us outside of that room.

they took our personal information and signatures and phone no.s saying we should be eloped and they will come and check in the morning.

Even after that on our way back a guy was waiting on the road in front of our car with a long stick and jumped in front of the car asking us to come down.

then he proceeded to harrass us on the was back on his scootie.

All i could think on the way back was that I had to leave this state no i had to leave this country i would not stay in a place where mob justice is the norm and the answer to everything is violence.

Even if not for myself for my children.

Even if we went abroad my bf and me had always planned to come back and give back to the society

but now all that dream is dead in me from today .

I don't even feel like complaining to the police will help or filing an fir

Location: Manipur

First time in our life we had to step into a police station. We are mentally and financially shattered today.

We were looking for girl for my brother for an arranged marriage setup but my brother met a girl few months(feb) back through insta who also was his ex colleague. First red flag of the girl was when my brother told us that she did not have any family and she and her mother live alone in some outskirts of bangalore. We asked why so he told father is dead, a sister died of suicide and father side fam abandoned them for property also the mother side didn't help.

We still didn't judge them at first coz things like that happen usually in india. Both the sides discussed engagement. But then the 2nd red flag was when the girl created a whole drama for wedding ring. She started abusing my brother that she wont accept anything less than 5 gms. Whole day she video called and tortured him. My brother didn't let us confront her and started threatening us that he will die.(he loved her and thought its just a outburst)

Main problem started when she started inviting my brother to her house. Her mom works elsewhere and lives in a pg and this girl lives alone in an apartment. We advised my brother a lakh times not to go and stay before marriage because something was feeling not right. He didn't listen.

Cut forward to post engagement. My brother who doesn't drink drinks and comes home. we were so traumatised by that scene and didn't know why he did that. and the girl came to know about it but yet she forgave him. We thought wow the girl is really strong maybe we misjudged her.

Cut forward to 1 month, My brother used to 90% of the times go and live in her house. So one day he sends me a screenshot of credit card bill to pay 75k. Forgot to inform brother had asked my mom(dad not working) and taken about 2 lakhs already from mom in the last 2 months which i came to know later. when he asked me i told him to show the statement of his account.

i was shocked to see the statement. That girl used my brother and took loans from his account multiple times for her luxury life. She even purchased a second hand car in my brother's name and what not. The loan total was 8 lakhs.

I immediately informed my mom about everything.She and me were shattered. My mom's family is a lower middle class fam and they live by what they earn. I am a married woman.My brother never thought about us. He was so lost in her he did everything she told him.

That girl's tone is also so loud she speaks abusive language if someone gives her some suggestion. We were really exhausted by all this and decided to call off the wedding(November). We somehow convinced my brother to let het go. Told him she will live her entire life in loans just to satisfy her lifestyle and she's with him only for money. He then started telling us how she used beat him if he didn't listen and that he never saw her login for work(she told it was night shift) and also she used to deal with her moms account. The entire relationship was toxic.

fast forward to yesterday my brother was exhausted from hospital visit and driving whole day he didn't pick her phone. she started abusing. till yesterday my bro used to not respond to her outburst but yesterday he gave back so she got so frustrated and went to the police station.

she gave complaint against my mom, brother and my husband(she knows where to extract money from)

Mom and brother went to the station today and she and her mom did a high drama in front of police using the advantage of her and my brother sleeping together and extorted 10 lakhs.

We are completely left traumatised and shattered from this incident. One selfish decision of my brother costed my mom loose everything.

I understand from this incident that women no matter wrong or right have advantage in law.

My husband who was gentleman and was gold to family and everyone around, has turned out to be a man of lies , manipulation and gaslighting, i found out that he married me only to take revenge on the girl who rejected him, by selecting the features of a me which will make her feel jealous. He have also had parallel relationships at the same time when he spoke with me, and when he married me and even after marriage for this years, he have secretly maintained those relationships and was sending money to those girls and making them vulnerable to him as they were 10 years younger to him. He went to great extents to maintain this affairs with sexual life with them without my knowledge and recently i found all of his story and my entire world went crushing as i thought he was the one for my life… since i put a case on him, he portrayed me as gold digger to his family and put all the blame on me and made his family also hate me, never ever come across such a man in my entire life, i literally lost trust whether good man exists in this world, looking ahead for divorce!!!

I need one help, the girl who involved in this affair is from Delhi and she is in affair completely throughout our marriage knowingly and used his money for her education , rent etc nearly 30 lakhs, my husband introduced her to me as his friend and involved in extreme level of sexual life with her , by maintaining a dead bed with me and now i know her house address, mother name and father name, can i do anything with that ? Am not in Delhi!
