Reborn as a Police Officer in India

Chapter 486: If there is no opportunity, create one

Shiva is willing to give face to the People's Party, but he has a bottom line.

In Shiva's opinion, there is a high possibility that the Congress Party was instigating this case.

Of course, the specific details will depend on the results of the investigation.

If this is really the result the BJP wants, Shiva will definitely report it truthfully.

If it had nothing to do with the Congress Party, Shiva would not have blindly helped the BJP.

You can't say that you are falsely accusing the Congress Party.

Although the People's Party certainly hopes to do so.

The reason they are looking for me is obviously because of this. Regardless of whether it is the intention of the IDA party or not, they want to make it appear that the Congress Party is the mastermind behind the scenes.

Therefore, Shiva asked Rodon to join in order to counter the pressure from the People's Party.

Shiva was very clear in his mind that although he was the director of the Mabang Police Department, his personal reputation, especially among the people, was far inferior to that of Rodon.

Even Rotten's network of connections was made stronger by him, especially Rotten's connections in the CBI and the various connections with the wealthy family behind Rotten's wife.

The People's Party may put pressure on themselves, but they will definitely be cautious when facing Rodon.

In other words, the person in charge of this investigation of Ida was Rotun, and even if the People's Party was not satisfied with the conclusion given by Rotun, it probably had to accept it.

This is a fact. The police have not lied, nor have they been biased towards the Congress Party. They are completely truthful.

Shiva explained all these things to Rotun later.

Rawdon didn't mind.

Many times, even if you are the director of a state police department, you still have to be subject to various constraints.

Rodon could understand some of Shiva's difficulties.

I have a close relationship with Shiva, so this can be considered as helping each other.

The police must maintain independence, which is a duty conferred by the Constitution. Therefore, the case should be told truthfully, and the People's Party will have no choice even if it is unwilling to do so.

The police can be more inclined towards the BJP. For example, the reason why Shiva is investigating this case is because of the BJP.

Otherwise, these cases will basically be left unresolved, with big matters becoming small and small matters becoming nothing.

Because this case is not very special, there are many similar cases in other states, which are basically not reported. The police are also trying to smooth things over and let it go.

Shiva brought up this case and treated it as a major case. The police also dispatched a number of elites to investigate the case, which was already a great respect for the People's Party.

So after this result comes out, Shiva will definitely not give in anymore. This is a matter of principle.

If the results are tampered with, Shiva will completely become a running dog of the People's Party.

Shiva has not thought about it this way. As the director of a state bureau, there is no need for him to get involved in the struggles between these political parties.

After all, once these political parties come to power, they may fall from power at any time.

It is wisest for civil servants to maintain their independence and not get involved in politics.

Of course, it is unrealistic to truly be impartial to anyone. People are emotional animals and have various networks of relationships and personal connections.

In some aspects, appropriate adjustments can be made.

At least Shiva gave enough face in handling this case, and the Mabang police quickly caught Ida.

Although Ida had no connection with the Congress Party, his party was an ally of the Congress Party, so it was a blow to the Congress Party.

Now is the election period, and such news will definitely have a huge negative impact on the Congress Party.

Ida's family soon came to seek bail, but was rejected by Rotun.

The reason is that he disrupted the country's election, which is extremely serious in nature and he cannot be released on bail for the time being.

Even if he is granted bail, it will have to wait until after the election.

During this period, Ida had to be imprisoned.

In fact, Ida's imprisonment did not hinder his campaign.

In India, many members of parliament are guilty of more than one crime. These crimes are not minor, but often extremely serious in nature, such as murder, kidnapping, rape and other crimes.

But as long as there is no real trial and the court has not convicted, even if you are imprisoned, you still have the right to run for election.

Even more outrageous are the members of parliament who are being detained during the court trial stage.

If there is any major event in the Indian Parliament that requires MPs to vote, then these detained MPs will have to be asked to come back to vote.

In other words, these criminals have the opportunity to vote, which is equivalent to criminals deciding the direction of India's policies. This is a very strange thing.

The news of Ida's arrest spread quickly, and countless news media surrounded the police station, wanting to interview him.

If this kind of information is leaked, it may not necessarily be the police station, there are various channels anyway.

For example, it was released by the IDA party, or Cyrus, or the Congress party. These are all possibilities.

The news actually spread, and Roton had nothing to hide, as this was not a secret case in the first place.

The case is clear and straightforward, and there is nothing wrong with it.

Roton did not show up in person, but asked someone from the police station to come forward to answer the reporters' questions and report the case to the public.

Doesn’t the BJP want Shiva to help them?

The case was pinned on the Congress Party, but neither Shiva nor Rodon would agree to this.

Now the case has fallen on Ida's head. What happened by their political party does not involve anyone else.

After the police's announcement spread, many people did not buy it.

A lot of strange voices soon appeared in the news media. Some reports said that there was someone behind this case, and the real mastermind behind the scenes was the Congress Party.

The news report made up the story in a complete manner, as if the reporter had experienced it personally, and vividly restored the entire process of collusion and how the Congress Party let Ida do it.

Such news is very popular among the people.

It was so real that they felt that it was the Congress Party behind it.

If the real mastermind behind this is the Congress Party, everyone can accept it.

Who made the IDA party an ally of the Congress Party?

The police did not accept any further interviews from reporters. Anyway, the content of the previous report was the final result of the investigation into this case.

As this news continued to ferment, Roton was of course paying attention to public opinion trends.

Needless to say, the media outlets that fabricated these news stories are obviously from the BJP side, and they are trying to flatter the Congress Party.

In fact, the People's Party is still very confident about this election. Judging from the results of various polls, their support rate is far ahead.

However, the Congress Party has a special status in India after all, so I am still a little worried.

Therefore, we must not slack off at all regarding the opponent's movements.

Whenever there is an opportunity, we will definitely deal a huge blow to the Congress Party.

If there is no opportunity, create it.

For example, this time, after Ida did this, the People's Party immediately realized that this was an opportunity.

Even if this was something that Ida's party had done, they had to pin the blame on the Congress Party.

But the police obviously did not do exactly what they wanted.

This made the People's Party a little annoyed, but at least the police arrested the person and proved that Ida was one of the criminals.

With this investigation result, the BJP can still create various troubles for the Congress Party.

Now is the election period, and any negative news is extremely fatal and will have a huge impact on votes.

Rahul's residence. Cyrus came here today.

"We have been following Ida's case," Rahul said.

"Shouldn't your Congress Party step in? At least bail the man out from the police station first?" Cyrus said.

After all, Ida is his uncle and elder.

During this period, Ida's family members came to him, hoping to use the relationship with the Mistry family to rescue him.

In the eyes of Ida's family, the Mistry family is a wealthy and prestigious family in Mumbai, and their connections in Mumbai are unmatched by their family.

Therefore, they placed all their hopes on the Mistry family as to whether Ida could come out.

But Cyrus was very clear about this. If he went, the result would be the same.

How could that kid Rotun give me face?

"We are still discussing this matter internally, don't worry," Rahul said.

"It's been several days, and the police have denied the family's bail," Cyrus said. "As our allies, you have to bail him out. Besides, your reputation is so high that the police can't deny it."

"Well?" Rahul hesitated.

To be honest, the Congress Party is actually a little annoyed that Ida has done such a thing.

If this matter only involved Ida, it would be fine, but the problem is that if you do this, many people will think of you first.

This matter obviously has nothing to do with their Congress Party, but just because they are in an alliance, this matter has to be pinned on their side. Isn't that unfair?

"If the person is kept in custody, wouldn't it be easier for the BJP to make a fuss about it? During this election, they used this incident to disgust everyone, which is very detrimental to the Congress Party's campaign," said Cyrus.

This made Rahul's face change.

What he cares about most now is the election. What happens to Ida is not something he needs to worry about.

Votes are what matter.

Cyrus was right. As long as Ida was locked up in the police station, the People's Party's news outlets would publish all sorts of random articles about Ida every day. During the election period, it would be difficult for this level of attention to subside.

This is definitely disadvantageous for the Congress Party and the opposition alliance.

To be honest, ever since the Ida incident, the Congress Party has also wanted to catch some of its allies in the BJP doing these things.

Unfortunately, they failed to catch the main person.

Those guys were obviously smarter than Ida and didn't leave many clues.

Those who were arrested were thugs who were doing the actual work. These guys were useless and could not be implicated in the People's Party.

If they force the issue into a fight, it will give the People's Party an opportunity to fight back.

All I can say is that this guy Ida is brainless and does not do things cleanly. The police can find out about it with just a simple investigation.

At this point, there is no point in thinking about these things.

The key is how to solve this problem.

"Don't worry, we will go to negotiate with the Mumbai police in the next two days." Rahul said after thinking for a while.

After all, Cyrus is their big money sponsor, and what he just said makes sense.

Rahul is willing to give Cyrus face.

Cyrus wanted to say why should we wait for two more days for such a thing, we should go right away.

But considering the other party's identity, he also has to discuss with the Congress Party internally.

Just wait a few days. We have been locked up for a few days anyway, so it doesn’t matter if we stay locked up for a while longer.

Rahul's agreement is already the best outcome.

Cyrus felt that he could not push Rahul too hard, after all, the Congress Party also had its own considerations.

Mumbai Police.

"Director, someone from the Congress Party just came over. They want to guarantee Ida and release her on bail." The office director said respectfully.

"Oh?" Rawdon put down the newspaper in his hand. "Did they send someone over?"

"Yes, the other party is not a big shot, so he was not allowed to see you." said the office director.

The office director's words made Luo Dun smile.

Not a big shot?

That’s not the case. He’s definitely not a small figure.

The people sent by the Congress Party should at least be people with relatively high status within the party.

However, Roton still sneered in his heart.

The Congress Party is still putting on airs.

how?

Don’t I have the right to ask Rahul to come here in person?

If Rahul came in person to intercede, Rodon felt that he might be able to give him some face.

Whether to grant bail or not really depends on Luoton's decision.

Since Rahul is so arrogant, Rodon will not be so humble.

Moreover, the People’s Party will be in power next. Isn’t it clear who it will favor?
Rodon can offend the Congress Party now, but he still has to try his best to maintain good relations with the BJP.

"Tell them that Ida cannot be released on bail during the election," Rawdon said calmly.

"Yes, Director."

The Mumbai Police rejected the Congress party's bail, which made Rahul very angry.

To be honest, he is still very confident about this matter.

I'm the one who's coming forward. How can the Mumbai police not give me face?

But the facts slapped him in the face.

To be honest, I have some friendship with Rotun, right?

Is this how this kid Rotten treats his friends?
He really wanted to grab Rawdon's collar and question him in person.

"Mr. Gandhi, what should we do next?" Rahul's secretary asked in a low voice, "Should we put more pressure on the police?"

Rahul paced back and forth in the living room. He felt irritated, but his mind was full of thoughts.

Roton has already refused, and I believe that further pressure from my side will not have much effect.

Roton is now completely different from what he was before, and it would be difficult for me to really fall out with him.

After all, Roton is not a politician, so these elections don't matter much to him.

Therefore, what Roton is doing now is generally fair.

According to the rules, it is legal for someone like Ida to be unable to be released on bail for doing something like this during the election.

Since it is in compliance with the law, what can I do to Roton?
Use public opinion?

Then I will probably be the one who suffers the consequences.

If we can’t target Rodon or the Mumbai police, then who should we target?
Rahul suddenly stopped and thought: "You should immediately inform our news media and report that we have released Ida on bail."

"Ah?" the secretary was surprised. "But sir, the police refused. We failed. This is a very embarrassing thing for us."
