One's desire to circumvent or then cock a snook at both the law as well as the authorities can end up costing you dear and lead to a life in jail as well as considerable shame.......
Four days after the Delhi based businessman who swallowed 12 gold biscuits in order to avoid paying the applicable customs on the same, the 63 year old Chandni Chowk resident finds himself staring down the wrong end of the legal barrel and looking at a considerable jail sentence.........
The senior citizen was taken into custody by the concerned authorities on April 18 after cases of smuggling were booked against him by the Customs Authorities under Section 104 of the Customs Act........
One may well remember that this "celebrity" businessman hit the headlines and became the darling of the media after a team of doctors who operated him at the city's renowned Sir Ganga Ram Hospital extricated a dozen gold biscuits from his abdominal wall following his complaint of acute abdominal distress following the inadvertent swallowing of a water bottle cap.......
As the patient was unable to furnish a plausible and credible explanation about the source of the gold biscuits and it's ownership, the team of doctors who operated upon him had handed over the offending metal to the hospital's medical superintendent who in turn had informed the authorities and handed over the gold biscuits to them following the patient's discharge from the hospital on April 15.........
One wonders why people constantly keep forgetting the golden dictum about the good lord's justice being conspicuously silent but mighty effective, "JAB BHAGWAN KI LATHI SAR PAR BAJTI HAI TO ACHCHE ACHCHON KO NAANI YAAD AA JAATI HAIN" as the businessman who is currently ruing both his follies as well as fate in judicial custody found out to his considerable dismay.........
