Bangalore Traffic Police Complaints & Reviews

I was fined wrongly for rider and pillion not wearing helmet in doddakannelli are near whitefield on 21st MAY. But i live near lalbagh, and had not travelled to whitefield till date. Also this was during the covid lockdown.

When questioned the traffic policers of sarjapura police station for proof, they told they have not captured this in CCTV but it was noted down by officer in written.

And when i told them i had not visited the place at all, the officers got angry for no reason and started shouting on me saying police offers are never wrong. They also told after a while that if i wont get out of there it will not be good for me and they can do anything with the details they had collected from me.

What other proof can a person in lockdown show and argue with these kind of officers?
If no CCTV proof is given to us by police then how can we trust their written documents as well?

These matters should be taken seriously, police can no longer be trusted if this is the case.

I have questioned the same on other forums as well, have found similar answers from most of them.

On 14th October 2020 bangalore traffic police stopped in Kormangla and informed me that i have a pending fine for Rs2500. Inspector told me that fine is for 4th August 2020, but i told on that i was working at home and never went, how this is possible. But he didn't listened to me and forced me to pay the fine immediately. I asked for proofs also that atleast he show me some proofs is fine is for my bike but he told if i want proofs then i have to go to Traffic management center and check the violation images their. I asked him let me confirm the fine and if fine is for my bike then i'll pay the fine online but he didnt listened to me and forced me to pay the fine . Then i paid the fine in cash. Next day i went to TMC office and they told me that this fine is not for your vehicle, it is for some other vehicle and due to some issue we put this fine on your bike. They asked me to go to jayanagar traffic police station and fix this issue. Then immediately i went jayanagar traffic police station. Their i talked with one of the inspector, he showed me that traffic fine is for Honda Activa and somehow Activa bike has almost same vehicle number like me but last number was missing so due to that challan was made on my vehicle. Inspector told me once you paid the fine it is not refundable. There is no rule where we have to return customer money even if we make the mistake. Now everybody is blaming each other. I have paid fine for somebody's else mistakes. I want my money back.

Hi,

Iv been stopped on multiple occasions by the traffic police during their start and end of month "fine collection drives" and asked to produce documents when i have not even broken any law. When i ask them what law I have broken they tell me i have a modified exhaust for my bike when mine is clearly the stock exhaust and other reasons like my bike was reported stolen.
Why are traffic cops illegally stopping people when no law is broken and also what number to we report these hooligans to. They just ty to fleece money of you and waste your time when you don't pay.

Being somebody very new to the city. I am first of all very disappointed to see the road arrangements in Bangalore. For eg. On a certain crossing at Inderanagar Nagar all three sides have a flow and the fourth one is temporarily blocked with no signs or a policeman to show the way. And then when one tries to take an exit from that blocked side, you will find police men standing just 50 steps away just trying to ambush vehicles in order to fine them.. So, basically are they gangsters who just want to collect fine money or for that matter money for their pockets. Instead of having their presence on the crossing and guiding traffic, they are 50 steps away waiting for new people like us who just go by google map! to just stop the vehicle and harass.

On the date 17 th aug 2020 I will be working in the office Tci reliance record room at the time 9:50 to 6 o clock how I should I be appear in the drdo junction then Put a traffic violation charges.i will submitting the attendance sheet for a proof

Normal travel to indiranagar is through st johns hospital circle, i got an notice regarding using mobile while riding bike, but my mobile will always be in my bag while riding my bike, as it is my routine habit. Notice number is 33949180 dt[protected]:58 am for an amount of 1000/- and place mentioned as sarjapura hosur road junction.

When i have kept my mobile in my bag and no hands free is used then how it is been used by me and with no proof they are sending notice which is irrelevant and wrong.

I need to understand on the actual process of fine and it has to be cancelled from my account.

I saw around 5 fine on my bike yamaha MT15(KA 41 ER 0350) for signal jump in deve gowda petrol bunk junction, as I travel on the flyover I don't think I can do signal jump as its below the flyover. Please can you check over it and if actually I jumped the singal send me the visual proof so that I can believe too.
I hope you can understand, help me out with my request.

Thank you

I want to file complaint against traffic police towing vehicle no. Ka 05 ae 8880 running by its officer and staff, against illegally tow my bike from inside road, and they collected 1650 against receipts no. C/12/1071/34809 dated 08.03.2020.

They damage my bike badly, they broke my indicator, bike was disk lock,
They damage the lock and rear disk plate, they mash lock between inside part, they broke left side body frame....

Today traffic police towed my bike which was parked at the parking area, there was no sign of no parking board, the only board was b-track and my bike was inside the line where many other bikes were parked. Today at 2 pm i went to collect my bike from the station where a random person came near me and was asking 1000rs and he mentions he will release the bike, he also had to collect money from many other people and left them, i wanted the receipt and was waiting for the inspector to arrive so i can check with him why my bike was towed. When inspector arrived the person who was collecting bribe ran towards inspector and told something about me, and when i was asking what does b-track mean, the inspector did mention what the b-track mean and he also mentioned that's not called no parking but still he was still asking me to pay the fine when i told him why should i pay the fine when its a parking place. He started abusing me and started to push me aside. I have recorded the same when i was recording the inspector snatched my phone and started hitting me and he broke my phone and was threatening me telling he will put me behind the bars. I had no other option when i got hit my the inspector so i paid the fine. Then he threw the receipt at my face. He also checked everything in the phone before giving it back to me
. I have never faced this situation from any inspector before he was acting like a goon.

The inspector nam is - renuka radhya
Banaswadi traffic police staion.

I have attached the video as proof

Sir what ever I am explaining below is happening all over the Bangalore. With secret investigation, everything will come out.
I parked my bike in no parking today and I was near my vehicle itself. Without announcing my vehicle number and without the siren or indicator to remove vehicle from no parking, they took my bike and went away.
When I went to get my bike, I came to know how the traffic police are misusing their profession for looting money from public.
I will explain how these polices set up people for looting.
The bikes will be dumped in one place, Traffic police will not be there at that place. He will avoid being in that place so that the dealing will be smoother between third party workers and the public.
Some third party private workers who are hired for lifting bikes into tiger(tempo) will be there at the dumping lot. All the dealings will happen with these private workers. Since the fine amount is high, They will first asks us to pay the amount, in my case 1000 for no parking and 650 for towing, total 1650.
These workers will ask 1300 rupees to be paid out of 1650, If we pay they will let us take the bike without giving any bill for paying fine. It means this fine is not even going on record or to the government, instead, it is going to pockets of Traffic polices.
I observed that per 30 bikes, only 1 person will wait for traffic police to pay the actual fine to receive bill.
Remaining people will deal with private workers for 350 discount[protected]=1300 Rs) that they are giving.
There PM is shouting the words Indian economy, GDP and many other things to inprove our nation.
How will our India improve with having looters like this in the governament itself.
It is like complaining your own greediness to you, Since you are the master mind behind such system.
This is what I got when I tried to calculate amount looted by BTP police per day,
Consider 200 bikes per tiger per day per police, 20 people pays the fine to government and receive bill, 180 people pays at least 1000 rupees, 180*1000=1, 80, 000.
PER DAY per tiger per traffic police traffic, the illegal income is 1 lakh and 80 thousand for one day.
These people are joining these kinds of profession just to eat illegal money through corruption and it has become a trend now a days.
I am doubtful whether these looters are appointed after clearing the exams or through curroption.
If the system is like this, only god knows how India will grow to compete with the rest of the world.
But I am sure that the god will not forgive these looters looting thier own nation without even properly serving it.
Greediness should not be the quality of the one who is serving the nation. Its an absolute shame.
Sir requesting you to find a way to stop this, even though the mistake is on public side, This System of giving a chance to loot the public very wrong.
The system should be created in such a way that there should not be a chance to back stab the government by its own servants in the form of looting Public.

Hi, i’m a daily commuter on the indiranagar metro in bangalore. I travel to the metro in my two wheeler from home each morning, park it there and travel to work through the metro. There is a “designated” parking lot next to the station that is always full by 9.15 am and i have to park my vehicle near the adjacent road. Two days in this past week, my vehicle has been towed stating the no parking boards that that put their the last weekend....

I was fined 1000 inr yesterday for over speeding at nagarbhavi main road (3 lane road) for riding my motorbike at 66 kmph speed (The officer did not show me the speed detected on the meter). The time was 3:39 pm and there was very less traffic. It is nearly impossible to drive there within 50 kmph (The speed limit as i was told by the officer who fined me). It defies natural logic.
How is 66 kmph dangerous driving at that time when there were less number of vehicles?
The receipt number is : w/26/1863/14064
I just read the rules on this website now. As per the rules of[protected], dangerous driving can be charged 1000 inr fine. How can i riding my motorbike at 66 kmph at that time with lesser number of vehicles be dangerous driving?
Dear sir, i suspect some foul play here. Please help me out in understanding what is going on here in my country!
I am attaching the image of the receipt herewith for your examination.

Sir/madam,

This is krishna, today i parked my two wheeler activa along with all other bikes in front o[censored]nlimited show room in neeladri road, electronic city phase-1, bangalore
They have taken out my vehicle to electronic city traffic police station.
Though i have leg injury i went to the police station to collect my vehicle.

There is private person over there he is not even into department he is arrogantly demanding me to pay 1650/- take ur vehicle, until that i will not make you to touch your vehicle. Who are allowing them first of all to ask the money, they are not even a government employee.

Then i told him if it is no parking, i will pay the fine please give me the receipt, he responded me very arrogantly i[censored] want receipt i cannot give u now, give ur mobile i will send u through what's app otherwise u wait for 1 or 2 hrs sir will come & give u every thing.

After waiting for one more hour with my injured leg mr. Nagaraju sir came & he also started talking very arrogantly then i said sir i will pay the fine please give me the receipt, i can't stand also for long time bcz i got a facture in my leg.

Before taking the receipt itself i clearly asked him whether all details are going to come in that, you will get everything he said..

Finally he swiped my card & the amount deducted was higher than 1650/- but in the receipt it is coming total as 1000+350 = 1650/- (God only knows this sum) & the receipt what he has given

When i asked him sir calculation is totally wrong in this bill & also there was more amount than 1650/- deducted from my card, how it is possible...?

That police replied me very arrogantly you go and ask the government if calculation is wrong... So he mean to say i need to go & ask for minister about this.

Finally what i would like to convey first of all i have seen the situation there with many of the people they are grabbing so much money without receipt.

If somebody insisting for receipt they are giving the wrong receipts with all wrong calculations & fooling the people to loot money.

Also the way they are talking as if they are not government employees to answer wrong receipts which are given by them... Every thing we need to go & ask minister directly... They are not ready to answer our questions when there is wrong.

Even after ignoring all these no parking charge for 2 wheeler is 1000/- including all.

Sir/madam
What i can say few traffic police are simply fooling the government, people and looting the money. I have so much respect and salute the police who actually do their duties. But because of these kind of arrogant & looting people in the department entire police department getting bad name in the public. Even i do have brothers & friends in police department so we know how they are struggling to manage their duties.

Sir i am requesting you to suggest me on going & giving complaint in the police station about this issue...?

May be 1650/- is a small amount, but per day if they wrongly collect they same amount from 100 people., definitely it's not a small amount, in front of me they collected the amount with receipt & without receipt from 20 people with in an hour... So please think about it & consider my request.

Thanking you sir

Hello sir/madam,
I am fined for traffic violation for which traffic police not able to show the proof. If i ask the proof they are telling me to go to tmc office near vidhana soudha. For sure i have not done any violation as on violation date i was not in bangalore as it is seen on my google timeline too. If they collect fine then they should be showing proof but traffic police says i have to pay the fine or he will seize my bike. Bangalore traffic police collected fine without showing me proof. Can you please ask bangalore police to show the proof on place when they are collecting the fine.

Yesterday night when i was travelling near peenya, tumkur main road, a traffic police harassed me and i'll treated me for going very close to his bike. He spoke very badly in bad language. It was very disgracing to hear him speak. He insulted me very badly and harassed me that he will put me to jail but because i was looking young. His vehicle no. Is ka-52-q-8739

Beware of parking in busy roads, if you visiting a hotel, most hotels in such busy places have valet parking, please avail it. There are no visible 'no parking' signs but they tow the vehicle away and the fine is rs 2000. They know the spots where these incidents could happen and come to tow vehicles away from such spots only and at odd hours when there is no congestion. Enforcement is important but not to inconvenience a tax paying citizen. How can things improve when the government is doing things which are not in favor of public but just to display the fines collected against each regions. Can this traffic police rather spend their useful time in planning how to ease the congestion of the city? I think they can but the easier route of taxing and fining people are taken to show that their job is well done. I had some respect for cops and that they are working in favor of citizens but a huge gap in reality.

Hi, Banglore Traffic Polic has levied a fine on my vehicle under the charge as “Wrong Parking”. When I enquired more about this, I am informed with the details along with photo about the wrong parking location. I got a very very big shock.

They have taken a photo In front of my house i.e. in Malleswaram and charged location as “40, Race Course Rd, Madhava Nagar, Gandhi Nagar, Bengaluru, Karnataka 560001, India”. It’s really embarrassing and shames the police department.

This is absolutely evident and can be caught easily who made this mistake from the department.

I parked my bike near kfc on the cmh road. I realise it was no parking area. I accept the fine and the inconvenience of the vehicle being towed. However, some goons are employed to do this job without any responsibility. They have damaged my brother's new scooter that i had taken for that day. There are multiple scratches on both sides of the bike. The boys employed to do this work speak disrespectfully and sarcastically like we are some criminal offenders. I take strong objection to bangalore police running this mafia who carelessly tamper other's property and extort money. Very disturbed with their modus operandi of an underworld.

The driver parks vehicle drunk in front of jeff international school in devasandra 3rd cross, 560036, despite warning him multiple times not to drive drunk and park vehicle in front of school, he doesn't seem to listen, please take appropriate action

I was stopped by a cop who was hiding behind a tree and waiting for people to break the rules and then stop them and grab some money.

I was stopped and asked to pay 700 fine for no reasons, and i was not in situation to argue with the bloody cops as i had some work.

So paid some cash and left from there, i don't want my country to be like this, no body will respect the traffic police, they are considered as cheapest and worst creature on the earth.

On 28th of december 2018 at sadasivanagar main road traffic signal, i took a left turn thinking that it would be a free left as always possible.
Immediately in around 100 meters, while i was at speed ranging 30, a traffic police stopped me saying that i jumped the signal and checked all the documents. I told i have no intentions of violating traffic rules i thought it is free left as there is no sign like no left. I am new to bangalore and i have 10 years of driving experience in andhra pradesh and never faced such situation.
Police asked me to pay rs. 400 and i said i am not carrying money as i am coming from an examination. He then suggested card payment and swiped immediately. I felt very sad by this situation.
Now i wonder is there no free left at all in this bangalore city and what does he really mean by dangerous driving!? Hope i will get answer and justice on this issue.

I took a legit left turn at the itpl signal on saturday 22nd dec. I was going towards hoodi circle from vydehi hospital. The signal was open and i just had to take a left turn. Because of a saturday morning, the road was quite empty. Mr. Krishna naik, seemed to be a senior traffic police charged me 100 rupees asking how i took a free left. Disgusting.

I stopped my vehicle on road to withdraw cash from atm. By the time i came the towing vehicle came and pick up my vehicle i requested not to take the vehicle and the traffics police demanded 1100/- or else come to court. Do we have that high fee for no parking place n is it elegible to pay fine just to withdraw cash from atm as there is no parking place.

My car was towed away even though there was no “No Parkin Game” sign. The official could easily lock the car and taken a photo but instead they towed away the car with no information left as to where we can find it.
We spend 30 minutes finding the car which was left unmanned in a side road similar to the one we parked on.
We waited for more than hour for a traffic police to come release the car.
They first declined to provide us with a receipt and on taking pictures of the police and the vehicle that towed our car they provided a receipt.
This is simple harassment of citizens to make cash.
The police officer and the constable were rude and let us off after harassing for another 30 minutes.
Is this how our govt officials work ? I pay 30% taxes, live on a street we’re there are more ditches and humps. The garbage is dumped right at the road . The sand mafia dump sand and is not answerable to anyone .
The illegal water supplier misbehaves with everyone around ...
Private buses are parked on public roads and not towed . But on parking a car, we pay 1100 inr as a fine !!
I cannot even comprehend why I pay taxes, and go through so much [censored] .
I cannot understand this democracy, “By the people, of the people, for the people “ is this all in just books or ever going to be released?

Hi,

All buses and autos stop/park near the banashankari signal (Towards kaderanahalli) on the road and when the signal is green we are unable to cross the signal and get struck in the signal multiple times.
Request bangalore traffic police to do the needful to clear the traffic in the above said location to avoid inconvenience the other commuters.

Thanks.

I was at Tin factory probably not sure about exact location. I was following google map to check the navigation and I entered a small subway which was one way. I was not aware of it and didn’t see the board of one way as it was night. I told the police officer to spare me as I was new and didn’t knew it. At first he started saying no you have to give fine of 100rs for it. I said since I was not aware of it so entered the one way and the road was empty as I followed google map. He was not ready to listen. He said it’s all rule for India. I said I have not done any traffic violation it’s just that I was not aware of the road n followed google map. Then he got to know that I am not from Karnataka and started abusing and saying go back to your native. I told him first you say about Indian rule then you say about States. I have said on his face that you being corrupt and you should help public instead of harassing for money all the time. If there would have been someone who knows Kanada he would have not fined. I am not happy for this with Bangalore police. And they will do this mostly on weekends and office hours. You don’t see them any other time. I am not blaming all of them but just because of few officers or policeman the whole department is getting bad name. They might have done good things which will be highlighted in social media but bad things are not being highlighted

Dear sir,
Please make sure that "no parking" sign pole is properly visible.
Today i have to pay fine, i parked my bike in front of spar hypermarket at adugodi bannergatta main road. There is no "no parking" sign on pole around, it's been attached to neighbor gate at the height of just 2-3 feet above ground level. This sign you can no see until you stand exactly in front of this board. Also the bike was not parked on either road or footpath, it's on spar space where i have been parking since 2 years.
To avoid no parking zone confusion, here is my suggestion:
Instead of installing sign boards at every 100 -200 meter distance, you can mark on road with yellow line so that no vehicle should park on this line.

Thanks
