Traffic Violation-No Parking...CMH Road **********
I parked my bike on the pavement in front of HDFC bank on CMH Road,Indiranagar.There were already atleast 15bikes on the pavement and there was no reason for me to believe it was a No-Parking zone.Neither did the security guys of the bank advice me against it.
A few minutes into my work one of the guys ran down to take his bike since there was a Tiger towing vehicle that was picking up all the bikes parked on the pavement.I went down too only to see my bike being lifted onto the van.When i requested the inspector in charge to instruct his guys to get the bike down and i'd pay the fine of 100rs he dint agree and insisted i go to the police station which is easily 5-6kms from the bank.
Once i was there i was asked to pay 300rs!100rs no parking violation fine+100rs govt towing charge+100rs private towing charge.All this when i'd have paid only 100rs had the inspector agreed to collect the fine near the bank itself.
I told the ppl there i'd pay only 100rs and the bargaining started.I told them I work for the press and they wouldn't get away with this.Finally the inspector asked me to pay 150rs.I was still adamant I'd pay only 100rs and started calling my colleagues in the media.Thats when he got a little scared and agreed to take 100rs and gave me the receipt and my bike.
