THE RICKSHAW WITH NEON LIGHTS

As soon as we stopped, i told the policemen about the bag and the rikshawala's behavior. The rikshawala on the contrary told them that the bag belonged to me. " Saab yeh bag to iss bhaisaab ka hai. Yehi mujhe paise ka laalach diya gaadi bhagane k liye" and he started crying, "Saab mai garib aadmi, kya karta saad, Meri koi galti nahi." I was speechless and numb. Now the policemen also started doubting and questioning me. It made me angry. They could see the anger on my face at that moment. Policemen asked me to open that bag. I was petrified and curious to open it at the same moment. But I refused, because I thought if there is something suspicious inside that bag it could lead both of us to jail for that night. One of the policeman pulled out his gun, pointing it at me, shouted at me to open that bag. I was scared to death. But I had no choice but to open it. My hands were shivering. I was sweating like hell. My mind was getting bombarded with questions like what is inside? Is it a dead body?.... I was clueless.
