Towers of Thane

Reported on May 10, 2014 from Thane , Maharashtra  ι Report #40901

I had taken my scooty to the bank ( 5 minutes away from home ) because i needed the branch manager's signature on the admit card of an entrance exam. Since i had studies on my mind and didnt think this would take more than 5 minutes,i carroed nothing but the admit card with me (no wallet of course) . After i came came out the bank (that was 5 minutes after parking my scooter) , i see my scooter on a towing van. So i decided to speak to the lady officer incharge. There was already a couple negotiating a bribe who ended up paying her 200 rs. After the couple left, i spoke to her. She asked me for my license and registration papers. As i had nothing but an admit card with me, i told her to tow my scooter away to the police station and i would collect it from there later that evening. She said that i would have to go all the way to the police station and pay a fine of 400rs., as though expecting me to suggest an alternative (we all know what that implies) . But she didnt know that the police station is at a walking distance from my house. So i told her that this is what i will do and asked her for any challan of required. She denied and asked me to pay anything at the police station itself. That sunken face of hers made me feel good about not paying a bribe.
