Bribe paid to get back my bike which was picked up for parking in the no-parking zone

Reported on March 15, 2011 from Pune , Maharashtra  ι Report #26327

I mistakenly parked my bike in a no-parking zone near pune passport-office, ganeshkhind. It was picked up by a On traffic duty police truck and transferred to chattushringi police station. I went there, produced all the necessary documenents and offered to pay Rs.150 fine. I asked for a receipt but I was told unbelievable excuses. I was told that I would have to wait for the on-traffic duty truck to return because the receipt book is only with a cop who is in that truck. It was a trap. Why won't they have a receipt book in the police-station where everyone comes to collect back their bikes? I waited for around 1hr but the truck did not return. I finally had to give up and return without a receipt of the fine that I paid. I am sure the fine money is definitely not going to the government.
