Sub: Complaint against Mr.
Advocating Dreams, Advocate, Delhi
Sir,
I, Poor bike, am making the present
complaint against my ‘owner’, Mr. Advocating Dreams, who has tortured and
harassed me and treated me with extreme cruelty during my stay with him in
Delhi. I was brought up in Bimaroo State where my parents, who bought me
after my birth from a showroom, treated me with great love and affection. I am
a highly qualified bike and I can navigate all the roads of Bimaroo State’s
capital even with my headlights off. I would want to be modest but I add that I
am also extremely good looking so that you may appreciate the true extent of my owner's apathy towards me. The atrocities & cruelties meted out to me
are detailed below:
My unending plight
started when I was taken by my present owner around June, 2011 from my parents.
He professed his undying love for me when he came to see me at my parents’
house in the Bimaroo State’s capital and held himself out as a highly qualified
advocate practicing in Delhi. I was young and I naively believed in his
promises. My parents’ were extremely tearful while agreeing to part ways with
me but relented to transfer me while hoping for a better future for me in
Delhi.
However, my owner
shamelessly started showing his true colours when he bluntly refused to take me
to Delhi until I was taken for maintenance by my parents at an authorized
showroom and also demanded that my parents should bear my transportation cost
to Delhi. My parents expressed their financial inability but conceded to take
me for maintenance to a local mechanic. My owner was adamant and even refused
to have dinner at my parents’ house in front of a dozen guests to protest
against non-compliance of his nefarious demands. I was ashamed and disgusted
but kept quite. For the sake of family, my father ultimately consented to have me sent for maintenance
at an authorized showroom and even took up the expenses for my
transportation. The said expenses amounted to Rs. 12,345/- and I have the bills
to support my claim. In addition to the above, my father's brother who loved
me, gave a new seat cover for my use and enjoyment and handed it to my owner for
safekeeping but the same has been misappropriated by my owner and has not been
returned to me despite repeated demands.
I reached
Delhi on 08.08.2011 and have since then been subjected to severe mental and
physical agony. Considering my owner's educational qualifications, I had
anticipated that he would be a sensitive and caring man but within the first
few days of my arrival in Delhi only, my dreams were completely shattered. I
was left languishing in the Delhi Railway Station's warehouse for two full days
and my owner didn't even bother to take me. Stray dogs came and urinated on me
and the attendants in the warehouse pushed me around with force and abused me
for being a burden on them. I had never in my life been treated this way but I
bore it all without demur hoping that it was a momentary phase. When I was
ultimately taken from the warehouse after two days by my owner, I was told by
my owner that he preferred sleep over me and told me 'Tu koi hoor pari thode hi
hai jo tujhe doli aur phool leke receive karne au station par. Aukaat mein reh
tu saali!'. I had hoped to discharge my duties as his companion with great
dedication and therefore I was heartbroken at my owner's disgust
towards his to-be companion.
In
August, 2011 upon seeing the various beautifully clothed bikes in Delhi, I too
requested my owner to let me wear the new seat cover that my uncle had given
me. My owner got really infuriated at this request of mine rebuked me for
being 'greedy' and 'selfish'. He even abused my parents my not giving him
enough dowry and shouted, 'Purchase ke
abhi kuch din hue nahi ki sasural lootne pe tul gayi hai. Saali, gawaar! Teri
transfer koi slum mein hone chahiye thi. Tu usi type ki hai ’. I was shocked and
traumatized to hear such filthy language from my owner who was otherwise a
highly qualified man. However, the said seat cover has not been returned till
date despite repeated requests.
My owner
had professed that he was doing litigation in Delhi and that it was a very prestigious
work but as things turned out, I realised that he was earning a pittance and
was soon to be adjudged an insolvent. He however, had an enormous ego and
refused to acknowledge his state of affairs. He told me bluntly, 'Tujhe pata
hai gawaar, kyu tujhpe main advocate ka prestigious sticker nahi lagata? Kyunki
tujhpe baidhne mein mujhe sharam aati hai! Gawaar kahin ki! chal ja tu apne
maike wapas aur basa le ghar kisi gawaar bhikaari ka! Teri aukaat nahi hai mere
saath rehne ki!'
My owner
is also given to gallivanting and socializing with friends but seldom
takes me anywhere except to dingy parking lots of courts in Delhi. Whenever he
goes for such social events, he would go on autos even if he has to pay through
his nose for the same. I asked him as to what was there in the autos that I did
not have and he answered, 'Jyada chapar chapar ki to battery kaat ke beech
dunga! Auto ko dekh to..kitni sexy aur hot lagti hai..tu to gao ki bailgaadi
hai! tere baap se bol naya disk break lagaye..tab le chalunga..nahi to apni
naak nahi katwani mujhe society mein.' I was mentally and
physically tormented with his high handedness and harsh behaviour to coerce me
to convince my father to meet his vexatious demands. My owner told me that if I
failed to fulfill their demands he would make my life hell and miserable.
My owner
is also a drunkard and frequently endangers my and his life by drinking and
driving on the roads. In October, 2011, I was really running low on fuel and
informed him repeatedly through the dial on my handle but he conveniently
ignored me. On 30.10.2011 when he was returning from his friends place late at night
after drinking heavily, my petrol ran out on the way. He got really furious and
kicked me repeatedly. He said, 'Tu kitna petrol khaati hai haramzaadi! Tu
khoon choosne waali dayan hai samjhi..tujhe joote maar maar ke bhagaunga apne
bhikari baap ke ghar'. I was hurt very badly but he abandoned me on the
road and went home without me that night on an auto.
I have been taken
through the freezing winters of Delhi without any maintenance till date. I used
to cough and wheeze and have starting problems but my owner was least bothered.
He continued to satisfy his carnal pleasures by racing me at full throttle on
the roads of Delhi. He is a monster who is consumed by his unnatural and relentless
physical urges and has no love or affection towards me.
On the night of 06.02.2012 I got punctured on the road by a sharp nail. I
did not want to let my owner down and even while I was in pain, I kept my wheel
rotating and thereby assured that my owner reached his flat for the night.
However, when he saw me with a deflated tyre in the morning, he abused me in
public and kicked and attacked me repeatedly. He announced in public, 'Tujhe to
main ab sada kar marunga haramzaadi. Mera khoon choosne pe tuli hai tu! Ab jab
tak tere ghar wale disk break nahi dete tujhe yahin sadaunga' He has never
taken me to a mechanic after that and I have been in this sick and vegetative state below
his flat for almost two months now. I am very sick and in mortal danger of
rusting. I do not know anybody here in Delhi who can help me out of my
desperate situation.
That despite my best efforts to save
my relationship the accused person is all out to threaten and intimidate me and
cause me and my family harm. My owner is an extremely influential and powerful person
and has no regard for the law of the land. I fear that he may also escape to
another country or state of India. I therefore request you to take
appropriate action against my owner for
committing grievous acts of cruelty and misappropriating my Stridhan (seat cover) which was
entrusted to him and has not been returned despite repeated requests.
Thanking you,
Yours faithfully,
Poor Bike
