Hyderabad traffic police asked for bribe

Reported on September 23, 2012 from Hyderabad , Telangana  ι Report #800

I was traveling in my car (Kerala registration KL-XXXX) near Secunderabad railways. One police man controlling traffic in front of Railway station stopped my car. He asked me to park my vehicle to side of the road. I parked the vehicle at the side of the road. Then this guy came and asked for NOC and other certificates. I said I have all certificates including the Andhra Road tax which I paid (Rs. 43,000/- (Forty Three Thousand/-)). All documents he asked was with me in my car. Then he said my car's number plate is not as per standard. He said it should be like this and that. I am sure my number plate is as per standards (Black on white without any fancy numbers or other decorations.) Then he said I need to pay fine of Rs. 1000/- I said I will not pay. Then he said pay Rs 200/- and go. Without paying that he said he will not leave. He was talking in Telugu and it seems he don't know any English. I paid Rs. 100/- and he happily accepted.
