> I suddenly noticed a tow truck (VEHICLE NUM : KA 02 AD 8532) locking in my car and I apologised and requested him to let me know the penalty. To my surprise, he demanded a bribe of 600rs, and when I refused to pay stating that I'd pay the full amount on receipt, he started abusing me and my family verbally and with utter arrogance. When I demanded an official receipt, he spoke very disrespectfully and challenged me to " do what you want" . Despite my many requests, he refused to even give me a tow receipt and drove away!! All because I didn't pay the bribe!!
> I had to helplessly follow in an auto and there when I said I'd complain about his bribe demand, he had the sheer arrogance to say" what proof do you have".

> Such blatantly corrupt and arrogant people lower the reputation of your department. Thoroughly disappointed in the rampant and arrogant person.

> I have attached the vehicle snap, attached to the residency Road tow
> department.
>
> I trust that you would look into the matter and give us justice.
