My dad runs a jewellery shop in my hometown. Business is decent. But occasionally there are hassles caused by the police. The police fabricate a case wherein a thief steals gold from a house in the town. I have no idea as to who the thief is or even if he actually stole the gold. But they come to a random gold shop claiming that the thief had sold the gold there. With this as the pretext the policeconfiscate a certain amount of gold. The police return the gold only when the gold association, an association of gold merchants formed to secure the gold merchants from similar atrocities, pays them a certain amount of money. The transactions of the gold merchants are not completely transparent, and it is because of this that they fear revolting against the police. The membership of the association necessitates an yearly payment which adds to woes of the gold merchants.
