Wrong Parking

Reported on June 16, 2011 from Navi Mumbai , Maharashtra  ι Report #7256

Yesterday we happened to park our vehicle in front of D Mart in nerul. Did not realise it was a no parking zone, Came back and saw the car clamped with mobile no of concerned person written on the road. Called them up and requested them to come and unclamp the car and take the fine. On asking about the fine, the officer said it was Rs. 300. We requested him to send a reciept of the fine paid alongwith the person who was to come to unclamp. He came empty handed and asked for money right there without any receipt. On asking about the officer he says he is far off and we should pay him and get rid of it. BUt we insisted on taking a recipt and made him sit in our car and went to the place where there vehicle stood with the officer.On the way in the car we aksed that person as to how much is the fine, he did not answer whereas asked us ki "saab ne apko kitna bola? " on getting there we got a receipt of Rs. 200 and Rs. 100 went to his pocket. We were ourselves at fault on not carrying our license as we were returning from gym, so could not fight for those 100 bucks. But in this manner the officers are openly taking bribes and that too for such small reasons which have valid fines applicable. I feel bad for paying a bribe..:(
