Thane Traffic Police — Unethical fine of rs 1200/- collected by traffic policeman for signal breaking at thane teen hath naka

Address:

Thane, Maharashtra

Dear concerned,
I am ashutosh tripathi, working for a multi national company. This is related to incident dated 9th june, 2017 at around 07:15 pm to :07:20 pm at teen haath naka traffic signal police station below flyover. I was in my car and passed the signal on the right signal light at teen haath naka but this traffic policeman named s k ghivare stopped me below the flyover claiming i have stepped signal and there was another car just ahead of me but he didnt stop him. When i said i have not committed any mistake he said i showed hand to stop and give me your license. I said that i didnt see your hand as he was standing below flyover far away from signal, i tried to tell him that i also have relatives in police as my uncle is a retired director general of police, then he took me to traffic police station in-charge. He told me that we will see in cctv and if traffic policeman is right then i will have to pay rs 1200 fine although official fine for traffic signal stepping is rs 200 because they will charge me for dangerous driving as well, which was not the case.

We went to control room and saw the footage and it was clear that i did not break the signal and there was another car in front of me but despite that they said i am at fault and need to pay fine. The station in charge also came and tried to prove that i was at fault although it was visible in cctv that both of them were wrong. I have paid the fine and i have receipt of rs 1200/- with charge and sections mentioned which are not valid in my case. They have taken unethical money from me out of their ego specially station in-charge. The money should be return plus both should apologize. I am ready to meet traffic police commissioner in this context. The following are details of the receipt
Receipt no. 5575089, gen 113 me, teeh haath naka
Sections: 119/177, 184
Police havaldar no. 4353, name: s k ghivare
