Innocent convict!

This post is about my experience in a police station. Yeah! you heard it right!. Seems like I have a hardon for trouble.
As I needed to buy a laptop(which I bought finally), I went to a few shops to check out some models and specifications. I did not know much about shops so I called my friends along with me, Madan and Karthik. Things went well and normal. That day I checked out some 6 shops and finally got home confirming on one model in a shop called Computers Unlimited in Bellary road.
Next day everything went normal until evening when I was studying upstairs of my house. My brother called me and told that I had a missed call, it was an unknown number. So I immediately called back in the same number(Thikka muchkondu irbekkagithu).
I asked "who is speaking"
the reply was "sadashivnagar police station"
Firt I though it was some prank by my friends,
But then I repeatedly queried who it was, he insisted that he was the inspector and I have to go the station immediately. I was totally freaked out. I asked him what was he calling me for, some 5 times, he insisted on not telling me. Then my bro called the same number, again he insisted on not telling the reason, in fact his voice was very rude.
Being really freaked I went to the station. I checked out the wanted list if my photo was there(I swear I aint, kidding). After some time the circle inspector called me into his cabin. He was a tough guy, and he wasnt happy. He told what had happened, that in the shop that I had gone the previous day a theft had happended and apparently 6 laptops were gone missing. I was the (proud)chief suspect, and my friends Madan and Karthik accomplices. I got grilled by his questions for some 30mins, then I was handed over to the superindent of police. He made me sit on a chair and the SP sat on a tall table(It was indeed like what we see in movies). The SP was really pissed off, He asked all kinda questions and made weird gestures at me. I somehow put up with him for some 50mins, he took down a lot of details into a notepad(hardcopy). Before letting me go he said that this was just pre-introduction and there were lot of procedures to follow. That indeed freaked the hell out of me.
Next day I went with a batallion, me, my friends, both of their dads and my bro. The inspector wasnt serious the next day as there were elders with us and he let us go after merely getting our signatures on somethig called statements. While giving the statement I did not waste my time I rather utilized my time taking some snaps of the interior of the station.
