Incident Time:9:30-10:00 am
Traffic police sipahi stopped me at this location(https://goo.gl/maps/jwAoKpSM2jC2) in morning 9:10am on 18 May for wrong side drive, name i couldn't get since they flipped badges down,(I was reversing the car the moment I was stopped so my car was 90 degree to the traffic) when trying to side my car the sipahi jumped on my window and pulled my my shirt( , i recorded all this incident but then they put allegation that i tried to hit them with car and threatened to make charge-sheet of life attempt and asked me to drive them to kapashera police station(although i believe this place comes under dwarka23 police station so after this, there was 1 sipahi and 1 constable sitting with me in my car and was followed by inspector in his wagonR) on the way sipahi tried to take my camera but then he took my memory chip of camera. I was having 4500in my wallet but he demanded 20K and I was taken to this ATM in Bijwasan (https://goo.gl/maps/ovRBPMeEHUr) . finally, they agreed for 6500 + my camera chip(64GB ,worth 2000).
I was Harassed and felt like being looted by those persons who are unfortunately part of delhi traffic police.
The google locations shared in this report are exact.
My questions,: I agree to drove wrong direction due to heavy traffic but then they should have charged me with fine. if I was trying to escape, then they should have sent challan to my address. When police station was at Dwarka23, why I was taken towards Kapashera police station and if police station was in kapashera, why on the way was diverted to SBI ATM in Bijwasan. This means the only intention was to extort money nothing else
