Bribe for releasing the bike from a parking area !!!

Reported on November 15, 2010 from Bangalore , Karnataka  ι Report #29975

On August 24th by 1.15 PM I parked my bike in Vodafone Store, Indiranagar parking area. To my surprise a person was taking away my bike. As soon as I came out after paying my mobile bill, I saw the careless bike towers carrying away the vehicle (making lot of scratches while taking away). Immediately ran behind the police carry vehicle, I argued that the vehicle was in parking zone and there is lot many bikes still there parked. Upon argument, the cop states to pay a bribe of 300 to get the bike on spot or collect from the police station. When I agreed to collect from the station, he came down for a bribe of 200 and then 150. Since I had to rush to office, I readily paid Rs.150 and got the vehicle back.
All these amounts will go to his pocket and is there no law to prevent this harshly?

What is your reaction after reading this report?
