Registration of bike of different state in Maharashtra

Reported on May 1, 2017 from Pune , Maharashtra  ι Report #163111

On 6th October 2016 , around 6:15pm I got pulled over by a cop at the signal at the Pune Central, University road junction(towards aundh).
There were 2other senior cops , one was the senior most and one his junior. The third cop who stopped me was a different kind a cop wearing blue uniform. Maybe the junior most traffic cops have those kind of uniform.
So I was pulled over,the assistant inspector asked me for RC,insurance,emmission certificate(I had these 3), noc , registration in Maharashtra RTO . Mine was a Karnataka passing bike. So when I said I do not have noc and registration, because I was not gonna be living in Pune. It was only for a few days. This is when he started harassing me that he is going to cease my bike and that I have to collect the bike by paying the registration amount, some 3k odd. Then came his senior officer and said the same things in a more stern voice to scare me. This was my first time I obviously got scared but then I had heard from my friends that Pune cops harass people specially outside state vehicle owner for nothing more than bribes . I did not have the capacity to pay 3k odd amount . So I took a call to settle it then and there and told him , "Saab le de ke khatam karo na idhar he" he instantly said "kitna de sakte ho tum" i knew that there are 3 people and won't settle for less(rookie mistake,always start from 100rupees no matter what) I said 500rupees . It was getting late and I had to be somewhere. Then he said "1000rupees do aur RC aur license leke hai". I was relieved that he is finally letting me go. (Do not get scared at any cost people). This is my foolishness and fear that I had to pay 1000rupees which couldve been avoided . I was thinking if I would be honest he would be nice to me.but clearly he took advantage of my situation.
Those two senior cops are seen mostly at Pune Central and Parihanr Chowk signal.The senior cop wears spectacles.The assistant is the one who usually talks to people.Its like a good cop bad cop thing on the roads. Be careful people. Know your rights. Also remember sometimes they do not have any evidence against you but get a confession out of yourself and you don't even know you've given all the evidence to them yourself. Just give the relevant details. Otherwise be silent.

What's your reaction?
