Pollution expired 6 days before the day of Challan

Reported on October 7, 2012 from Gurgaon , Haryana  ι Report #31186

I was stopped by traffic police near Artemis hospital. They asked me for papers and i gave it to them. The pollution certificate had expired on 28th September 2012. SO they told me to pay 1000 Rs challan. I wasn't carrying that much money, so i asked them to give the challan and i would settle the same in Court. But then one of them said ATM is in the hospital, so i went there and came back with the money and turned on my mobile camera. I recorded the discussion, but it went on standby, just when the traffic personnel asked me for mid-way(bribe). Anyways i insisted on challan and then they handed over a challan of 66 Rs and Compunded it to 100. So i paid them 100 bucks. I have the recording to prove that the challan was supposed to be for Pollution but they just did it for something else. I am carrying both the things with me. Please suggest, if something can be done more effectively to change their mid-way concept, else i will report it to the complain number that have on the backside of challan paper.
