- Paid INR 170
I am a student currently staying in Raipur. One day I was stopped by the cops at SantoshiNagar police station and there were a lot of cops checking for commuters using helmet.
Immediately they locked my vehicle and asked about helmet. Initially they sounded very strict but however after 10 minutes they started to bargain. I was not carrying any cash except 200/- and after requesting for a long time, they settled for Rs 170/-.
I am not aware of the name but the entire police station and their inspectors were in the station and they were taking bribes from commuter.
To make things look decent, the bribes were collected by a constable inside the station so that it is not visible to the outsiders.
That day, I was present for 20 minutes and almost 50 bikes were stopped in that time span.
