Corrupt traffic police

Reported on August 24, 2010 from Bangalore , Karnataka  ι Report #30926

I was driving back home from the hospital where I worked where I was stopped by the traffic police who asked for documents. I showed them my driver's license & necessary car documents. My car was new(less than a year old) & had undergone emission testing but he still asked for a recent one & insurance papers. Even though I showed it to him he said there were some more & either I could pay 250 rupees & right then or he said he'll take the car & I should collect it after 4 days after paying a fine of 1000 rupees! When asked for his name he refused to give it & said he'll be near the K.R.Puram circle near Tin Factory. I had no choice but to pay the money as I needed to get back home soon. But one of my friends who was right behind me didnt have to pay anything as she was the daughter of an MLA!
