Emission or pollution certificate check

Reported on June 16, 2015 from Chennai , Tamil Nadu  ι Report #62022

I am from Pondicherry. As my mother came to chennai for a knee surgery, I arranged a call driver for my Alto Lxi 2008 model. All of a sudden after returning from treatment, my mom called me that our car is being checked for papers. I have all the necessary papers and inspte of that the traffic police in-charge was looking to find a fault desperately. We had ansers for all of them. Similar to the tamil movie Samy (vivek fame) finally he asked for pollution certificate. This is the first time I am hearing about that. He told we have made a gross error without pollution certificate and the fine is 1000 Rs. I explained my situation. But still he is not convinced. He openly asked for 300 Rs. I was cornered in this situation. More than 20 Miles away and bussy at office, I am not ready to make things complex as mom was helpless. He suddenly asked to 200 Rs and gave the phone to my Mom. Being made a scape goat, I paid that bribe of 200. My fate.
