- Paid INR 150
While riding my two-wheeler through the ********** university main road towards Guindy,I was caught by traffic police. I wondered if I had violated traffic rules, but to my surprise the so called police asked me why I had not worn the helmet before which he asked for my DL, insurance and RC. As I provided all documents, he asked me whether I pay the bribe or will be booked for not wearing helmet. He asked me to pay Rs.50, else if booked I had to pay 100. I had no other go but to pay 50 and vacate. Not even a hundred meters away, another traffic police intervened my vehicle. The same story as the first, but this time the police asked for Rs.100. I told him that just some time back I was caught and paid 50. Then the police asked me to pay 100 and get a change of 50 as by then he had seen through my wallet and knew I dint have 50 rupee note. Then I paid 100 and to my dismay, he told me to vacate the place and argued the fine was Rs.100 and that is what I had paid. I could not even digest the fact that how Chennai traffic police could behave so cheaply even after the tamil cinemas have repeatedly showcased their corrupt mentalities, may be for the sake of comedy but the fact is that they have exposed the bare truth of Chennai traffic policemen. Shame on you policemen.
