I was cornered to pay 1000 even after I accepted to pay proper fine

Reported on March 24, 2019 from Bangalore , Karnataka  ι Report #201316

I was driving from 1st main and turning left at mission road next to income tax department office. I know I just slipped signal so I stopped, but the traffic police asked me to come and stopped me.
He was demanding 3500 I really don't know for what. I said I have come out with family members for my brother's marriage invitation.
They asked me to pay fine 3,500. I said I will pay 1000 for signal jump. He got with no receipt. I asked for receipt, he blackmailed saying he will put me in court, take the car to police station and block my licence. I was totally cornered.. I am 100 percent sure, there should be video recording of any near by traffic lights. Exactly around 5:45pm

Please do not leave these kind of people, I am ready to pay fine for my mistake but I can't digest simply giving money to some blackmailer.
