Demanded to be fined but traffic officer wanted a settlement

Reported on January 15, 2016 from Hyderabad , Telangana  ι Report #89372

I was crossing the road on a bike from a improper divider on the Madhapur Road. As soon I crossed a traffic police official stopped me and detained me on the side. He tried to scare me with the challan amount by increasing it from INR 600 to INR 1000. I asked him to challan me, but seeing my resistance to bribe, he said "It would take a lot of my time to get a challan, I can pay him some amount and leave". I didn't understand what to do in such a situation, and ended up paying him INR 200.
