Harassed & Beaten by Kolkata Police for Following Traffic Rules
I’m a student and ride a Hunter 350, always wearing full safety gear due to childhood accident trauma. I strictly follow traffic rules, ride at the slowest speed, and carry all documents. Yet, I get stopped at almost every Kolkata checkpoint, while others breaking rules go unnoticed.
Frustrated, I installed a bike camera for safety—not for YouTube. Yesterday, at a checkpoint, cops saw it, snatched it, smashed it, and started abusing me. When I asked why, they beat me. Their bodycams were off, and no one helped.
I don’t use a mobile phone, only an iPad, so I couldn’t record anything. A lawyer told me without proof, nothing can be done. I feel completely helpless. How do I fight this? Or just help me leave this country?
