Sly traffic Policemen milking money from innocent people under Main road overbridge

Reported on April 23, 2011 from Ranchi , Jharkhand  ι Report #9059

This incident occurred on 22nd April,3:30PM when me and my sister were returning from a family gathering at my Late Aunt's place and the train already being late a couple of hours,we were totally exasperated.I am a student while my cousin sister is married to an awesome gentleman .My jeejaji came to pick us up the station and in a hurry to drop me off at the nearby autostand we misread and entered a small one way zone,which till now was non existent under overbridge( as far as we knew).As fate would have it a team of these ten vultures aided with there ring master was already positioned there to exploit the caught unaware types and despite all explanations and genuine proofs ,the so insistent authority was **********bent on pushing through a hefty fine of about 2Grand.Since my sister's family recently moved to the city from Gujarat she as well as me being unavailable in the city since about a year we were in no position to argue and despite all pleas no one relented.Finally the ring leader of traffic police seemed to agree to our story and asked us to move away to a corner so that he might cuts us a bill(deal).My Jeeju on trying to be logical was asked to shut up else the ring master threatened saying" lamba fine maarke mijaaj thikaane lagaunga" and asked for 600 Rs to let us go.I can't explain how sorry and pathetic I felt for having landed Jeeju in this useless spat.Money ain't a issue but despite the genuine cause these vultures were readily sitting there to prey upon innocent newcomers with rudest tempers and attitude on display.I would really expect them to show this when they themselves flout all the rules at major roads and give the red light folks a miss with heavy blinks all the time.
