What a pity! This often happens, the police have the upper hand when they take away the vehicle and you have no option but to pay, when you are in the Police station. I cannot predict how successful you will be, but why dont you take some time and meet a senior officer regarding this? On a much larger plane, this makes me wonder; can we seek compensation for such wrongful actions by the police? We will check with some experienced lawyers.
Anyway, I must congratulate you for not paying the bribe, but insisting on paying the fine. Please post your experience on the i did not pay a bribe, section. Even if you have been wrongfully treated, your firmness in not paying a bribe and paying the fine instead will set a good example for others.

I went to Traffic police station on Race course road, I told them I had parked my bike on the road parallel to the road which leads to Nataraja theatre in the residential road near Mantri mall. They told me that, yes the residents had complained so we toed it away, I said there was NO "NO Parking" board. they asked me to give Rs.200 otherwise the fine is Rs.300 for getting the bill. I met Sub-Inspector of Police - Krishna sigh, Paid the fine, I noticed that he mentioned "South End Road", I stressed on that asked him if the name of that road is South end road, he is yes sir... I got doubt... but I silently took the bill and came to the road where I had kept my bike... I checked every corner of the road.. there IS NO "NO PARKING" board. I even took pics in my mobile. I checked with one of the residents as to what is the name of the road.. They said it is Sirur
