One way Violation case

Reported on December 3, 2013 from Kolkata , West Bengal  ι Report #38307

1. I was driving(2-wheeler) on the wrong way at east canal road.
2. There was no notice of one way throughout the stretch I drove.
3. Police took my license and handed me a paper of case 2000/- rupees for One way violation.
4. Advised me to go to Kolkata Traffic Guard office for further process regarding payment and retrieving my license back.
5. Next Day morning I reach there accordingly. A representative of Kolkata Police told me that I only need to pay Rs1700/-, which includes lawyer fees also as they will try to adjourn the case. I do so(Definitely i believe it's the fairway) .
6. 3days later i got my License back and I've asked for government/lawyer receipt for my 1700/- rupees.
7. They have no proper answer, then i realize that i have paid a bribe.

Lastly it's a racket of bribery running parallel to the system. The same was advised by Traffic sergeant and i just fell into the trap and compelled to bribe.
