Juhu Police Station was the next stop. Upon informing the police constable, Mahesh Choudhary, that I wanted to know about the status of the 2008 molestation case outside Juhu Marriot – I was pointed to a cabin. According to the police inspector, they had “a Writer, Jhadekar, who keeps all the records. He sits in that cabin. But the case that you are inquiring is an old one. The papers must have been transferred to some court where the case must be going on. And there must be a Xerox copy if an FIR is filed but it’s unlikely that you will get a copy”. Out of curiosity, I asked the inspector if he was aware of the case or any people arrested following the incident. His answer was, “I have no clue”. The Writer (keeper of records) of course wasn’t there and had the long weekend off, unlike the rest of us. I called the station two days later on a Monday, and was asked to come in to meet the writer – a Shailendra Ghiwar, not Jhadekar. When I reached the station and explained to Constable Choudhary why I wanted to meet Ghiwar – again – he asked me to wait outside, disappeared inside for a while and then emerged to tell me that I couldn’t enter the police station and that the cops were too busy preparing for tomorrow’s Iskcon Janmasthami celebrations to answer my questions.
