I, Deep Banerjee (Founder - #IndianRoadie and #AssociatedForumsOfIndianRoadie) am the only one in India who have repeatedly stressed that buying and selling a pre-owned car/ bike is not as easy as buying/ selling a pack of cookies or a samosa or a sachet of shampoo or discarding a used cond*m. I have repeatedly stressed that buying and selling deals should not be done via one of those roadside or branded pre-owned car dealers, including the branded ones authorized by new car manufacturers. 

A blue Maruti Baleno was used to bump off erstwhile coal smuggler Raju Jha near one of the 'lyangcha' selling shops on NH19 in Shaktigarh, East Bardhaman district, West Bengal. After the job was over, the goons drove off and discarded the car somewhere near Shaktigarh Police Station, as per media reports. 

A resident of Baisnabhghata Patuli Township area in the southern fringes of Kolkata who was the first owner of the 2017 make blue Baleno has revealed to the Press that he sold off his 5 yrs old Baleno car to Car Dekho (a pre-owned car buying/ selling chain) in end September 2022 without obviously filling up the complete details in Form 29 and 30. The seller in pink t-shirt in the video thought that he had cracked a great deal and that his App based used car dealer will find a buyer and complete the name transfer process because ₹10,000 was held back. 

Slogging it out to find a direct buyer was too much of labour for him like thousands and thousands of other tech-savvy callous roadies. The car was not yet transferred to a new owner on the date of the crime. However, it was used by the goons to bump off Raju Jha in Shaktigarh. 

With everyone wanting to do everything (including producing babies) using Apps or knowledge gathered from YouTube, WhatsApp, etc this had to happen. 

Where are those guys who in every warning post open up a wrong orifice of their body to say that such incidents don't happen daily. I wish they face such harrowing times atleast once before they breathe their last. I also earnestly want them to face the music for ignoring my warnings pertaining to #NoPlannedNightDriving. 

All the super busy superhero roadies pan-India speak behind my back for all my well meaning warnings because my advice comes for free. 

The original owner of the Baleno (WB06P3454) giving out the Press bite in the accompanying video link is trying to put up a brave face, but somewhere down below, his pants must be dripping wet!
