Hello everyone, I M25, living in Hyderabad, Banjara Hills as a tenant in a gated society.
I have been paying my rent on time, causing no trouble to my flatemates/ neighbours/ society or anyone in that matter.
I have been parking my bike in designated spot for past 5 months.
Today, as usual when I returned from work I had parked my bike in the designated spot, which has a gate being closed everyday at 1030pm, right next to it is a car parking spot for the building.
Around 1020pm I stepped down to take my bike out, kept my bike in unoccupied car parking spot (mind you that place has been empty since I have come) only for 40mins considering I have to leave for my friend’s medical emergency (she got into a bike accident with minor bruises and needed medicine plus someone to take care of her for tonight).
When I came down at 1105pm I found my bike lying on the ground, with handlebar bent, bar end cap damaged, leg guard damage and bike petrol leaking, additional damage is petrol tank paint getting removed because of bike.
I called for security guard, he wasn’t present then, I ended up meeting building’s secretary and his son initially asking me if I had parked the bike which I agreed to.
Then, they proceeded to yell, threaten, abuse me for parking at that spot and not listening to my reason at of why I had parked the bike in that spot.
Picked my bike, saw the damages, didn’t had the bandwidth to take on the argument as I was getting late to buy medicines and reach at my friends place.
Have messaged my landlord regarding this, will get a reply by tomorrow morning.
Do let me know if I should take any legal action, file a police complaint or leave the matter as it is.
