New Delhi: Handling paper work, maintaining huge records and fighting crime at the same time. Tamil Nadu police perhaps have too much on their hands.
Otherwise, can you imagine a cycle being worth around Rs 90, 000? But according to a police record in Tamil Nadu, it is valued at over Rs 91,000.
Meanwhile,<b> an ordinary motorcycle is valued at over Rs 11 lakh. </b>And thatâs not all. Another bloomer that could make you rich is by owning a moped, which the <b>police records value at over Rs 90 lakh.</b>
The 2006 annual report of the Comptroller and Auditor General of India lists quite a number of similar goofups, and it makes an amusing list.
For instance, in one particular case, <b>musical instruments were classified as Agricultural Products. </b>And another one is worth its letters in gold.
<b>Seventy grams of gold was valued at Rs 20 lakh!</b> Now we know why all that gold smuggled from the Gulf is sold here in the south.
The police seem to have hit the bull's eye with this one: <b>15,000 buffaloes reported lost in a single case.</b>
<b>A Boeing 747 jumbo, black in colour, is missing in Madurai and it's worth Rs 1,600.</b>
And here is a feat even Scotland Yard would envy. <b>There were 115 FIRs filed even before crimes were committed! Now that's what's called foresight</b>.
The police, however, are speechless when asked about the bloomers.
