No red light on road still paid bribe for jumping red light !!

Reported on June 16, 2011 from Puri , Orissa  ι Report #7264

So we were travelling from the Puri temple to go to Konark on the main road in Puri( the one where the rath is pulled) . Suddenly at an intersection a traffic policeman stopped us. There we no traffic lights there and some traffic police was showing signs written in a cardboard to control traffic. We did not see that and just went as other traffic was going. The guys stopped us , ********** be because we were in an expensive car) and without saying anything just started shouting at our driver and asked him to egt out. I went with my driver and in the office they just demanded some money. I said about the lights not working and about challan and he just insisted that we " settle" it with the traffic guy on the road !! I paid Rs 50 and he let us go.

Anyways , I should have resisted more but I had my whole family with me and I though its better to pay just 50 rupees and go than to make a rukus !! I would have preferred to pay a challan even if it was more and more than that I want that there be traffic light at least !!!
