Creativity of a traffic police to extract money

Reported on June 25, 2013 from New Delhi , Delhi  ι Report #34750

Today when I took a left turn to connaught place, suddenly one traffic police popped up and asked to stop my car. I stopped and asked for the reason, he told me that I jumped the red light. I was not sure , so I told him to challan me. Then he started to tell me that this is Cotnnaught place area and is a zero tolerance zone , here the fines are 10 times higher then the rest of the delhi. I said no problem issue the challan, however I was not convinced with his argument about higher fines. When he understood that I am not going to offer any bribe, then he offered me to changed the locality so that fine will be lower, he was convinced that I will be pleased with his good gesture and will give him some money. But I didn't pay anything more than the fine of 100 rupees. Delhi people be aware of ingenuity of traffic cops to extract money from the motorists.
