Paid fine for not paying the bribe
Last week I was returning home from Whitefield area towards Hoody. It was around 9 - 9.30 PM. When I approached towards Hoody signal, it was GREEN & showing 8 seconds remaining time. I signaled the left for going towards KR Puram & turn left. Two traffic police were standing there, asked me to stop. I stopped the vehicle & asked him what is that he wanted to know. He asked my license & asked if the vehicle is new. I showed him my license & told him that the vehicle is new & purchased few months back. He didn't ask me for any other documents. He asked me to pay Rs. 200. When I asked him the purpose, he told me that I have jumped the signal. I told him I had watched the signal carefully which was GREEN & showing remaining seconds too. He didn't agree with this & told if I do not pay the fine, he will file the case & I will have to go the court to settle it. As I could not afford to spend time in court, I paid him Rs. 200 instead of his fulfilling his expectation of bribe. When he gave me the challan, I found that he has entered two reasons 1. Jumping the signal & 2. Lane indiscipline in it (only to show the fine of Rs. 200). I had to pay the fine only for not paying the bribe.
