Hello,
This incident happened around 2 years ago, when i was in Pune in search for a job. Correct Date and time, i cant remember but it was one Saturday towards the end of the month. me and one of my friend was returning back from an interview. people in Pune knows how the traffic is at 4. so me and my friend wer going back home and talking to each other how bad the interview went. there was a signal was infrnt and and i thot it was free left, and took it. completely my mistake.
Just as i took the road a traffic officer jumped infrnt of my bike caught me and took the key asked me to park aside. i parked and went to him. he was telling, i jumped the signal, have to pay fine. i said am sorry, yes you are right i jumped the signal, but i dont have any cash on me, give me the receipt ill pay in a week. he didnt allow me to go. To tell you the truth it was towards the end of the month and we both wer broke. my friend had 5rs with him i had only 10. that was all we had. so i told the office my situation that i dont have any amount to pay now. ill pay later. 'no' was the only answer. he asked me to go to an ATM and get money. i used to keep the last withdrawn receipt with me and showed it to him. look i am really broke. he asked me to stand aside. for half hour we couldn't do anything. stud dr. Then he came to me and took the only 10rs i had and retrnd my key and asked to go.
i was totally surprised wen he took 10. only 10... he didn't want me to pay the fine which may come arnd 300 (i think) and was actually my mistake. but he just needed 10rs. common beggars have more dignity than you officer. 10 is the lowest bribe i ever paid.
