Reported on July 31, 2014 from Vadodara , Gujarat  ι Report #42515

I live in vadodara and today came across a fraud done by the traffic police in open day light. I was stopped at Nyay Mandir and asked for license which I had. Then he asked for a PUC and bike documents which no one carries with them all the time. I had it at my home and told the officer that I will ask someone from my family to provide it. He said no you will have to provide Rs 50 fine as you are not carrying it with you. As far as the law goes, I think I have few days to produce the documents. When I said the same, he got angry and started threatening me and using foul language on duty. I was forced to sign the Challan and he forcefully took Rs 50 from me. When I told that this is harassment, he said "yes we are doing it, what are you going to do about it." When I asked his name he didn't gave his name and neither was he wearing his name batch. However, from the receipt I can say that he is a head constable. Later on when I came home and checked, he charged for offences which I didn't even committed. The MEMO number is 240057. This is completely unacceptable behavior from a PUBLIC SERVANT.

Can anyone please suggest if there is a way to complain against this.
