Chalk it up to another unsolved crime. In my Bombay days and no doubt prevalent now in Goa, (because it takes some time for city systems to catch up in rural areas) it was like this:
You wanted to commit a serious crime (like murder), you went to the local police honcho, usually the Senior Inspector or the SHO (Station House Inspector) and gave him a wad of dough, amount depending on who you would terminate. Then with his nod, you did the ghastly deed and in due course the inspector played his role. He rushed to the spot with a retinue from the police station etc etc. He waited until public outrage subsided and then the matter went into the ‘cold case files’. Of course the ultimate result even if you didn’t bribe him was the same - the crime went unsolved unless there was some heat. But you bribed because you didn’t want to take the chance that the inspector would get lucky. Roland.
