Bangalore Traffic Police Complaints & Reviews

My bike ka 05 jh 4070 dio, was parked near ashok
Near, st joseph college. I just went to buy chocolate within 5 min i return my bike was not there, i asked the traffic police but no answer and i visited to ashok police station, ullsore police station, old ashok police station but they were not bother about, and even they are not saying us that weather they have taken the bike or not, as i have made an f. I. R registered, no help from bangalore police as people goes an ask for help. I really need help to find out my bike and ready to pay the fine

Vehicle was towed away wrongly. No parking signs were not there on 4th phase road new yelahanka roadfrom the public toilet down that road till the end. Two blue and red no parking signs are there upto air quarters gate. There were atleast 7 fruit vans (1 tonner) were parked right under the board unchecked. But after the cross road behind 5 cars i had parked the car. Police towed away my car inspite of four of shouting to them. I am the driver. Hanumanthaiah was very rude when i showed him the photos of no parking boards not being there. The cop can't tow away my car, he can put a chit for wrong parking too. Total harrassment. Inspite of traffic police chief of yelahanka intervening and supporting me, hanumanthaiah said "don't eat my head. Pay the fine and go. We have put up 9 no parking boards, (Which is a big lie) just pay and don't eat my head". I started crying bcoz of the harrassment in front of everybody out there.

In outter ring road next to mahadevapura bridge infront of rainbow hospital daily too much traffic happenening.. 2 traffic police was there daily, instaed of clearing traffic they used to stop vehicles to take money. They don't feel shame for this. Already too much traffic in tat place. On top of that they creating traffic. I never seen worst traffic polices like them. And in outter ring road near marathalli and someothet places traffic ploice just taking 10, 20 from tt and private bus and they making worst traffic..

I experienced today what happens when traffic police (T. P.) towing vehicle suddenly picks our vehicle.
On the name of traffic police there are group of people who majorly work for traffic police as contractors and they misbehave lot with local people.

750 inr i paid today to take my 2-wheeler bike back from kalyan nagar t. P. Bangalore.

Is 750 lucky number of traffic police so they charge it or does bangalore t. P. Doesn't understand how much hard work has to be done to gain 750 inr which is already a 30% tax deducted money.

This experience made me to hate/shame current governing system.

There were multiple women looks so scared with this towing approach since impacted by it.
Some how people could reach via auto to tp station which we didn't even know where it is.

I can put on duty inspector name as well but i really want this approach to be stopped.

There could have minor mistakes of people in parking around 2 inches here and there, but overall experience was highly annoying.
And final settlement of 750 inr happens on the corner of the road next to kalyan nagar tp station by some unknown guys which are known by tp but not actually a tp, final settlement should have happened in tp station.

Suggestion:
Penalty shouldn't be more than 200 inr (We can't even pay more than that, already paid money to auto as well to reach tp station)
There should be proper parking on roads since there is high struggle to get a space to park and then tp says little vehicle is crossed the boundary line and finally local people get into problems from tp.

I was asked to pay a fine of 400 bucks for jumping the signal even though there was no signal jumping from my side.

If i jumped the signal then why only i was caught whereas there were around 10-20 vehicles crossing the same signal parallel to me and behind me?

My dl is seized on the spot. Traffic police is saying i need to pay the fine to get back my dl.

Kindly help me getting my dl back without paying the fine unnecessarily. I would like to bring it to next level.

The incident occured on 28th aug, 2017 at johnson market. Myself and my friends decided to have lunch at fanoos, so we parked the car a little ahead at leonard street (About 100mts. Away). When we can back, to our surprise, the car was towed by traffic police. Please note: there is/was no sign board stating parking is an offense. We double checked to ensure the same. When we called the cops, their reckless behavior was even more annoying. They said they'd come back to the same spot where my car was towed within 10 mins but took 30 mins to get there.
The traffic policeman, mr. Rangaswamy (Photo attached), was arrogant and said none of my complaints could affect him in anyway. He charged me rs. 1100 and provided a bill for the same. I told them to use the money to buy a no parking board, so they don't cheat more people like me. He just smiled and got away with it.

My name is nirmal rayan, with the grey swift dzire with registration number ka05 mu 1410. I don't know if this complaint will make any difference in his life, but i hope it does. I hope good people who get affected by such corruptions would join hands to end these atrocities once and for all.

Jai hind!

I met with a car accident at 10:25 p. M 2 days ago on 15/08/2017 on msr main road near indian oil petrol bunk (Between gokula bus stop and bel circle) as the uber car i was in hit the divider. The driver no doubt was driving rashly, but this possibly could have been avoided if there was a reflector installed on the divider. Request you to kindly facilitate this to avoid future accidents. Also the road next to the said petrol bunk needs a traffic signal. The spot is actually notorious for accidents. Please take action, otherwise there will surely be more accidents and loss of previous human lives.

My car was picked up by the traffic cop mr. Nagaraj on 24th june17 from a spot where i have been parking everyday for close to a year and a half now. The tow vehicle would have made close to 1000 trips during this period and never have they objected to this. When i met mr. Nagaraj (Phot attached) to get my car back and asked for the reasons, his logic was whopped:

1. When i asked him why did he not pick up my car earlier, his logic was that only now the auto guys had complained to him that i am parking in auto stand. So basically what he meant is the traffic cops pick up vehicles from no/wrong parking only upon complaints from someone!!! Am i assuming right here?

2. When i informed him that there is no 'no parking' board there, is logic was "have we seen a parking board there"? This again makes no sense as according to normal understand parking is everywhere other than where there are specific 'no parking' boards. Again he had no more argument to offer than the above.

He was clearly aggressive and didnt like us asking questions. When i said i will escalate, he seemed to be least bothered and said 'go ahead'.

This is regarding crr no. E/4/1691/10303.

Today i was stopped by the traffice police constable at the ngef krishnaiahna palya junction for jumping signal for not a free left. When i took the left the light was green (You can check the video if you have). I told the same thing repeatedly but the constable didn't listen and he was talking very rudly as though i have commited a murder. Later i was taken to his senior who was a little better in speaking (Not still was rude) and i told him repeatedly too, but he turned deaf ears and charged me with a challan of 400 rs. I am a traffic rule follower and i was framed for nothing. Please investigate on this and pay me back my amount. I think this was only done to may be achieve some of their targets of violators (They may have). I hope somebody would listen to this and rectify.

Bengaluru Traffic Police Banaswadi Division is exceptionally talented. They pull out your car or bike from an authorized parking place, tow it to the police station and demand money.
If you argue with them, they say they don't understand english or Hindi, although the sub-inspector speaks good english as I heard him talking to another folk from Andhra in English.
They moment they see a Northie, they revert to Kannada just so that they don't need to argue with a Northie, then demands a bribe without giving a receipt. If you say you'd pay the
fine in full, even though there was no mistake of your own as you had parked in the right place, they get angry and then give you a receipt. The Tiger has its set of private contractor wolves
who have an air of haughtiness amongst them - grow up you poor uneducated rowdies - your high and haughty attitude counts for nothing.

I'm actually proud of these folks in traffic police station/tiger tow because due to them I think I'm a better person seeing the kind of people in this world who are like them. THey set a
benchmark for bad behaviour and racism.

I had parked my car in gandhi bazaar (one of the wide road of dvg road)on 5.3.2017.
parking was done in a way it was not blocking road nor in a wrong place. parking was made for 20 minutes, I came and saw the car wheel was locked by the police.When called to the number, the police arrived after half an hour.He collected 600 rs and left the place.

Car number ( KA 01 MG 6651)

I am not sure if the car was wrongly parked.

I have received two notice from Bangalore Traffic Police. First notice no 17699038 dt 24 Aug 16 a fine of rs 100 for riding without helmet and other notice no 17699039 dt 24 aug 16of rs 100 for pillion riding without helmet. Both the above said two notice is for DT 16 Aug 16 but I was not in Bangalore actually I was travelling in train from Patna to Bangalore and I reached Bangalore in 17Aug mid night .my activa scooter KA04HX4686 was kept in my railway qtrs no 174/A yeswantpur from 03/08/16 to 17/08/16.nobody has used my vehicle during this period.how it is possible. Pls help me

I was ridding the vehicle at Baglur road Bangalore, the person sitting behind me was not wearing a helmet.
The traffic police stopped and charged me with the penalty of Rs100 for that offense and he gave me the receipt and informed me that the receipt will be valid for a day. This happened on 29 February 2016, Monday, 1:43pm.
And the traffic police belongs to Chikkajala Police station.

On the same day another...

The way Bangalore Police have started these days is really pathetic and they have stooped to abysmally low levels. While i was coming from lunch through 80 feet Indiranagar road and was carrying the photocopies of the document on which they impounded a fine on me saying they want original documents. I told them that my office is nearby and would take me 10 minutes to get it, they just have to wait for that much time. They were adamant that i had to pay the fine and they can not wait. As far as i know if one can get the document in short interval then there is no problem and i don't think 10 minutes is such a long wait. They just wanted to verify the documents and i had already showed them photocopy. However they did not let me leave and i agreed on paying the fine though i was really frustrated by seeing the their behavior and attitude. When i took the receipt after paying the fine, i came to know that i was fined for not wearing the helmet which was totally insane as i have never rode without wearing a helmet. When i confronted them, they said fine is collected and i can go and after they started speaking in Kannada knowing fairly well that i do not know the language. I had no other option but to leave. I am really aghast and disappointed by this situation. The people who are appointed to help us and bring law and order, are spreading the anarchy and openly mocking the system. The incident took place on 1st of September, 2015 at 3:17:39 PM in Michaelpalya S D Road Junction. I just demand an explanation from the Bangalore Traffic Police and if this is they way they want to operate then God help the anarchy.

Notice to pay fine for an Offence not commited Notice Number/Date : 12532162, 30th-Apr-2015 Offence : "Using Mobile while driving car on 05-Apr-2015 at 1500 hrs near Peenya SM Circle. I verified about traffic violation complaint at Traffic Police website: http://www.bangaloretrafficpolice.gov.in/bpsfinedetails/bpsfinedetails.aspx . I can able to see same info provided in the notice. On further searching website for Proof of evidence I could not able see any proof as it was enter by traffic police and not captured by traffic surveillance cameras. I stay in New thippasandra. I am working in ADE, CV Raman Nagar. I have no official or personal work at Peenya. So far, I never move around at Peenya, even on holidays. I did not even leave the house on 5/4/2015 and nobody else drive my car. It is extremely dis-heartening to accept such false Offence. I have paid the fine amount of Rs 100/- to close this matter, in-spite of I AM NOT being at fault. I would like to understand why and how such a mistake happens. I suspect, if there is another vehicle bearing the same register number or the Register number was erroneously entered. I have mailed a complaint to Enforcement Automaton center, Bangalore to investigate true defaulter so that if such incident repeats in feature, I should not be targeted again. Please can some on guide me about further precautionary step Thanks VIJAYA KUMAR GS

On 17th May 2014, at about 14.25 hrs when I came back after shopping a Taxi cab bearing Reg:No: KA05AD8143 was parked six inches away from car's rear bumper and the driver was missing. I had to wait for over an hour for the driver to return but he abused me and tried to deflate my car along with another driver (both in white uniform). The cab belonged to www.mmlogistic.in. I am 71 year old man with two bypass surgeries and had to wait in the hot sun for over an hour. I made a complaint to[protected] and was told that a traffic police will reach in 10 minutes.But none turned up. Again when I called they advised me to go to jurisdictional police station and file a crminal complaint against assault. The driver broke my spectacles and pulled my cap ( I am a bald man) and caught hold my collar. My complaint no 9601 has been rejected stating that the photo I attached is not clear. I have submitted another complaint today (28/05/2014) (No;9832) with another photograph. I have photographs of the area, the way the car was parked, and the driver. But I am unable to upload all of them through this format.

Rather than a complaint, this is a suggestion in good faith. In front of the R.T.Nagar post office, there's a space at the side of the road for parking two wheelers. About 25 meters away from the post office, there's a no parking sign which extends from the point of the sign until 300 meters in the direction away from the post office. Since the parking area is one stretch, nobody notices the no parking sign since it is placed behind some railings on a footpath. Our traffic police get a good haul of bikes parked everyday in that no parking zone, because there's no immediately visible indication that the no parking zone has begun. Most people end up parking their bikes there because bikes are already parked there (that's what happened to me). A responsible person would ensure that if they really didn't want people to park there, they'd place a clearly visible demarcation on that part of the road, showing that parking area ends there. As of now, it just appears to be a nice daily fishing ground for towing away two wheelers everyday and collecting a fine. Dear policemen. Please either do away with that no parking sign or make it more conspicuous (the current no parking sign is visible, but not good enough). The same applies for any other no parking zone frequented by traffic police towing vehicles.

Hello,

I was booked for a traffic violation, Drunken Driving last weekend near Mount Carmel College. The fine was paid in the court room. The cop kept calling me asking me if i had paid the fine, and i can come and collect my DL from him. I was wondering why he was being so nice and calling me to find out if I had paid the fine. He called me thrice on 15/03/2013. When i called him back yesterday he asked me to come to a restaurant (Chandrika Restaurant), when i went there he asked me come to another place and the traffic constable in the corner of Cunningham Road will guide me.

I asked him why was he making me run behind him, ideally he should be keeping my DL at the police station and i shall pick it up from there. He got agitated and abused me and a verbal dual ensued. He then asked me for money to give me back my DL, which I refused and I said I will escalate the issue. After a lot of argument he threw my DL at me and said he knows what to do to me. Firstly this man makes me run all over the place behind him, asks for a bribe, abuses me, throws my DL and threatens me by saying he will take care of me.

The name of the police is Nanjunda swamy from High grounds traffic police station. I’m reaching out to the press and Lokayukta also in this regard and I request action be taken against this person for his unruly behavior, asking for bribe, insulting me, and threating me that he will take care of me.

Karthik

Hi,

I have received a letter from Bangalore Traffic Police Department stated that I was riding my vehicle at Varamavu Ring Road Without Helmet on 18th Feb 2013 at 5:30 PM. This allegation is invalid because I do not ride without helmet and even I do not know the mentioned place.

Thanks

Hi. I am Neil Domingo. Just this morning, on my way to work as usual I took the service road opposite to Bangalore central in Bellandur where a police stpped me and started scolding and askin me to go back as no vehicles were allowed. When I asked him why the road isn't blocked if there is no entry for vehicles then he asked me to go then he will block the road. After I go back and take a long detour to the main road I see him allowing vehicles on the road just where he stopped me and a few motorists. Is this correrct? Why is there no proper system on our roads? One day the road is blocked and the other it isn't. Can sometheing be done here? Why are people harassed by policemen on the road? Is harassing their duty or controlling traffic? And if they cant control traffic why aren't the authorities taking up proper steps to ensure things? It is very unpleasant to be driving on roads where policemen themselves are insensitive.

Hi,

Yesterday I was going to ITPL via KRPuram. I took a right turn and was asked by police to stop the car who were standing in shade on the sideroad. I had right signal and there was no other vehicles in sight.Actually I was moving past them, when they noticed it is a lady driver and asked me to stop the car. I had a Kerala registration. Though I paid tax, I havent changed the number plate as I am planning to move back to Kerala. Thinking they want to ask about this I went to them. Senior office sitting on bike asked me for driving license and when I talked in English started scolding me for not learning Kannada. After checking my license he asked me to pay Rs200. When I argued that I had the signal and hasnt done any violation, he said I need to pay money if I have to get the license back. Finally I had to pay the money. Last 1 weekI have seen traffice police in every corner of the city stopping vehicles. Has the traffic police been asked to raise money for government by harassing the citizens.

I got notice[protected] that I have voilated traffic rules on 14th feb, 13:45 hrs. I really do not understand how the Bangalore traffice police has arrived to my car number. On 14th feb, 13:45 hrs, I was in office and till date I have not taken my car near to the place where I have supposedly voiolated traffice rules. Do traffic police departmant have any proof that the car which voilated the traffic rules was mine? Or do they just randomly pick up some number and start sending notices? They should stop troubling innocents and send notices to the culprits.

No right turn signal for vehicles coming from marathalli towards satya sai nagar or green garden layout.

The kundalahalli gate junction handles more than a lakh vehicles a day.

As it is the main junction for people commuting towards whitefield and ITPL area.

Satya sai nagar is upcoming colony with vehicle and population increasing day by day as it is seen in most part of the bangalore.

There are almost 100 apartments are there and almost 2000 flats are there in the colony. Almost 2000 resident vehicles and double the number of public vehicle enter the satya sai nagar through the kundalahalli gate signal.

There is no right turn signal for Vehicles coming from marathalli side entering satya sai nagar. Every time vehicle had to disobey the traffic light and get in to the colony, when the vehicles coming from varthur road will have green signal. Many small accidents take place at this junction resulting in traffic jams.

Most of the day time it is manned by constables. Can that signal be added with a 2 min or 1 min right turn from the marathalli towards the satya sai nagar.

May the Bangalore traffic police do the needful to avoid traffic violations and deaths / injuries at this busy junction.

Thanks

Hi,
I am Deepak from Bangalore. I was fined at Cauvery Arts & Crafts Circle, MG Road on[protected] at 05:20:36PM for two offenses: 1) Jumping Traffic Signal 2) Lane Discipline.
To the best of my knowledge, I took right turn from Anil Kumble Circle side rode towards Brigade Road, when the signal was green. When I had crossed the signal more than half way, the traffic police man suddenly came and stopped me and fined for above two offenses. First he asked me for Rs. 200/- fine. I requested him saying that I had crossed the signal only when it was green, and might have turned red while I had just completed my turn. The reply was: " pay 300 Rs. now", and he was very arrogant. I want to know, if there is a rule by Bangalore traffic police that if you request a traffic police man, he will increase the fine by hundred rupees? The other offense framed was "Lane Discipline" .. I don't understand how these two can be clubbed together. If one jumps the traffic signal, ofcourse, he has to go to the lane he/she was supposed to. And lastly, I am 100% sure that I did not jumped the signal. If there is a closed circuit camera installed at that signal, you may please see the recording. I am ready to pay additional 1000 Rs. fine if I am found guilty. The CRR No. of fine is : A/8/1218/12333. My vehicle number is KA03-EY7404 (Blue-Black color Discovery 125 CC Bike). My DL number is 103614/2000. The traffic police man's bike number which I had noted is KA03-G-1040. Please take legitimate action.
Thanks,
Deepak

I am Prajin Ravindran, I wanted to raise my voice against the rediculous and unacceptable thing the Bangalore Traffic Police have done to me today. I had parked my bike Pulsar 150 CC KA 03 EW 8626 infront of old 3 Stories resteraunt on Lavelle Road and my bike was towed from there and was fined 300rs for no justice. This is rediculous and just unacceptable. I am now ashamed to live among people like this....

On 3/8/2010, at around 11 am, at ESI Junction on way to ITPL, I was stopped by a traffic policeman for what he claimed to be a "Jumping Traffic Signal" offense. To the best of my knowledge, it did not qualify to be one; however, it was possible that the signal could have changed whilst I was making the turn. Anyone who drives a car should be able to understand that whilst making the turn, one concentrates on the vehicles ahead and not on the the traffic signal. It was the policeman's word against mine; since I did not want to get drawn to a debate and thereby get late to my office, I paid up Rs.100/- on spot. However, I had enough time to stand and watch the next drama unfold. Upon the next signal change, the police man stopped a two wheeler driver for wearing a "half helmet", with his 3-4 accompanying policemen nodding in agreement that it was a Rs.600/- offence.

My complaint here is that the concerned policemen seemed to be more interested in catching marginal cases to increase their collection and not interested in actual prevention of traffic problems. Mind you, the policemen were not present at the junction to prevent the "jumps" as per their definition, but at a strategic distance away from the junction to catch unsuspecting marginal cases, just to increase their collection. With about 5 traffic policemen manning a problem-free ESI junction with the sole intention of fleecing folks working for various IT companies, it is no wonder that they are not be seen in areas where the real traffic congestion is present. Such instances do not bode well for the traffic police, but only helps bolsters their image as being part of the bigger traffic menace. Also, is it really hard for Bangalore Traffic police to find employees who can excercise common sense...?

Hi,

I have been travelling from past 3 years from my home to office and reverse.
Bangalore traffic police boasts of all the new technology and modern equipped systems to manage traffic.
But its so disappointing that there is noone to put a check on the Autorickshaws.
Almost 9 out of every 10 autos have there meter tampered. A 10 km distance will show 12 kms.
Inspite of knowing all this, I have never seen any improvement in the behaviour of Autorickshaw drivers.
They have no fear for Traffic police.

One day i was travelling from near oxford college Garvebhavipalya to Bellandur via silkboard. I hired an auto he asked me for 20 rs extra over meter.
I agreed because it was 9:00pm. His meter shooted to 25 at silk board (6 rs over normal). I told him his meter is fast.
he started abusing me in kannda and asked me to get out of the auto. i said i dont have change i gave him 100 rs. he said go and get change from somewhere.
i was unable to get change. then he came and asked for the note. and got it changed. But to my surprise he took 30 rs and gave me back 70 and ran off with the auto.
His auto number was KA05-7044. Now i want to know what traffic police will do to teach drivers of this type a lesson.
Its like robbery. and so dissappointing on traffic police's part. This is just one of the 1000 instances I have faced in last 3 years.

Whenevr I will go from home to office or reverse, I usually take auto and 90 % of the autos shoot to 85 rs or more, while the normal charges are only 74 rupees.
Is it not the duty of traffic police to put a check on tampered meters. Why traffic police waits for a victim to complain and then take action.

It a shame that Bangalore being IT captial of India. we get to face this kind of scenarios. I have lost trust on Bangalore traffic police.
And I have 90 % feeling that this mail will also go in recycle bin.

They have putup a new signal in KR road,Bangalore. This is covered by the tree branches. The signal is visible only when you are very close to pole. only thing you can see from far is a green light where you need to decide to stop or move. When I took a right turn because the lights were green because of poor visibiliity i saw 2 constables standing getting ready to fine. I pleaded not wrong due to very poor visibility of the traffic signal,but they insisted on paying fine. When I was sure not to pay, they charged me with Dangerously Driving.

This is not the first time I have experienced this. The traffic indicators are not visible properly to the drivers. The police is taking an deliberate advantage of this.

Just to prove my point, I have taken a short video of this traffic signal which shows the poor visibility of the traffic signal in KR Road,Bangalore.
