Couple Locked Inside Their Home

A 2005 law in India resulted in an elderly couple being mistakenly locked in their own home.

The couple was caught up in a sweeping municipal drive to instill order in India's chaotic capital by shutting down and demolishing illegally built structures that have sprung up like mushrooms across the sprawling city of 14 million.

City employees mistook the residence of Madhusudan Wadhwa, 76, and his wife for a commercial business in violation of local zoning laws when they locked their gate Monday, officials said.

They didn't even know they were locked in until the son came to visit and saw the municipal seal.  Maybe India should take care of their own business before trying to give advice to Americans.

Just sayin'
