Triff Police looted Rs 500 for wrong parking

Reported on March 16, 2011 from Pune , Maharashtra  ι Report #26237

I planned to buy a new mobile so I parked my bike near the mobile store on karve nagar and went in the shop. Soon few traffic police came near bike and started shouting. I came there to see what I did wrong. They told that I was parking on the footpath so I have to pay the fine and they took some snap. I told that I was not aware of that area is part of foot path. Anyway they pulled my bike near traffic police chowk. There were 5 traffic police present. They told that I have to pay Rs 1000 for the violation !! I was stunned by the amount !! I was in a hurry and had only rs 600 as cash with me. On asking he told that he will give a discount of 50 % !! So I paid Rs 500 and asked for receipt. The police start making fun of me and says that receipt will be given only if I pay entire Rs 1000. I came back home and checked the RTO web site for the fine amount. It seems that as per the act wrong parking/ parking on footpath the maximum fine to be Charged is only Rs 100. I cursed all the traffic police !!
