A CAR BELONGS TO ME WAS RENTED TO A PERSON WHO RUNS A RENT-A-CAR SERVICE. HIS NAME IS MARIYADAS RESIDED IN NARAHENPITA, COLOMBO 05. THE RENTAL FEE WAS RS.75,000/- PER MONTH. AFTER USING MY CAR FOR SEVEN MONTHS HE PAID ONLY FOR FIVE MONTHS. THAT WAS ALSO AFTER THREATENING AND BLAMING HIM ONLY. THERE IS STILL RS.80,000/- REMAINING WITH HIM WITHOUT PAYING ME.
IN THIS REGARD I MADE A COMPLAINT AT NARAHENPITA POLICE STATION WHICH WAS IGNORED BY THEM. THEY SENT ME A LETTER STATING ME TO FILE A CASE AGAINST MARIYADAS.
WHY POLICE CAN'T TAKE AN ACTION AGAINST THIS RACKITTIER AND HELP AN INNOCENT CITIZEN. WHAT IS THE USE OF POLICE IF THEY CAN'T INVOLVE INTO THIS TYPE OF MATTERS. WHAT SHOULD I DO?
The police do not work for you. They work for the court. In civil cases you have to bring suit. The police can only act if there is a crime or if ordered by a court.
