Side effects of Love

In India Bollywood films show so many Love Stories in movies & many young people are inspired by these to emulate these stories. But here is the story of a person who emulated one such Love Story & landed himself in jail.

Here is a teenager, 19 yrs old who went so far to impress his girlfriend......Yes, here is Abogit Samson, an engineering student who stole a Mercedes- Benz from a Bangalore showroom & drove 1,000 kilometers in the stolen car, just to impress & meet his girlfriend, a student of Ruia College. But alas, Mumbai police arrested him for his reckless rush when he was intercepted along with two friends, both teenagers, on a flyover after a chase.

“The boy told me he did this to impress his girlfriend, whom he had met when he was living in Mumbai. We have lodged a vehicle theft offence and handed the boys to Bangalore police,” said deputy commissioner Sunil Ramanand.

Asked if Samson, whose father works with a multinational company in Bangalore, met his girlfriend, Ramanand said: “No. I am sure she would not have been impressed with the antics of her boyfriend.”

The police said Samson, whose family moved to Bangalore a few years back, and his friends — Nitin Joseph, 17, and Neeraj Mohandas, 16 — visited the showroom on Wednesday on the pretext of buying a second-hand Mercedes.

Samson told the staff he wanted to go on a test drive and drove around the Silicon city with a showroom representative before assaulting and throwing him out of the car.

He then hit the highway to Mumbai, 998km away, for the scent of his woman, much like the blind Lt-Col Frank Slade who goes on an audacious test ride by zipping around New York City in a Ferrari.

But unlike Samson, Slade, immortalized by Al Pacino in the film Scent of a Woman, took off to fulfill one of his last wishes.
