• Damage to bike

I used to park my bike on the closed road near my rented house. The bike is parked on the other side of the road in front of my neighbours house. The position of the vehicle is not causing any problem in ingress and egress.
My neighbour allegedly damaged my bike twice, emptied the air pressure of both tyres once, had put dirt all over it many times. Still he is not stopping.
Whatt should I do?

File a complaint against a neighbour with the police for the offence of public nuisance under section 268 of the Indian Penal Code the contents of which have been reproduced below:

268. Public nuisance.—A person is guilty of a public nuisance who does any act or is guilty of an illegal omission which causes any common injury, danger or annoyance to the public or to the people in general who dwell or occupy property in the vicinity, or which must necessarily cause injury, obstruction, danger or annoyance to persons who may have occasion to use any public right. A common nuisance is not excused on the ground that it causes some convenience or advantage.

Complain to police. His act amounts to mischief and creating nuisance. If police not cooperate, thrash him if repeat.

Hi,

In this case, you need to file a general complaint against suspected persons. Be a bit vigilant and try to catch that person. That time give a 100 no. Call and get him booked.

If you know that he only does it then you may first talk to him and solve the issues amicably,  if he's not agreeing for any solution then you keep a vigil on his activity in this regard,  collect evidence and lodge a criminal complaint against him with the local police station for necessary legal action.

Complain to police against suspected persons who are causing damage to your vehicle. 

If police do not take any action file complaint to magistrate u/s 156 of CrPC.

Dear 

First you should install a hidden camera at place where you park your bike and find out the person who is doing this act.  Then talk to that person that he won't stop doing the act again you will file a police complaint and if still this continues.

Then you should file a police complaint regarding damage to your property against that person with proof.

This is the case of Mischief to property but this case is Non Cognizable as police officers can't register the FIR for this case without order of SP or Court but he can do investigation and submit the report in SP office.

  1. As per the information mentioned in the present query, makes it clear that you have been troubled by the nuisance, in fact damage in terms of money also by some one near to your place of residence.
  2. Though you have no idea as to actually doing it, but still you can file a police complaint and ask the police to investigate into the matter.
  3. Or you can also give the name of the person on whom you have some suspicions or otherwise it would go as state vs. Untrace. And police will look for the culprit.
